                     REINTRODUCTION OF THE JOBS ACT

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, there's a lot going on in our 
country right now, but we here in Congress need to remember that the 
number one priority remains getting our economy back on track. That's 
why, today, I reintroduced the original JOBS Act.
  My JOBS Act would reduce the corporate tax rate and capital gains tax 
to zero. It would totally eliminate them. It would also extend for 3 
years bonus depreciation and would allow 100 percent expensing for 
business assets. Finally, the JOBS Act would permanently repeal the 
estate and gift taxes--the death taxes.
  My bill would give businesses the boost that they need to create more 
jobs. It would stimulate our economy and would bring manufacturing jobs 
back to America.
  I urge my colleagues to support my JOBS Act.
