                AMERICA'S SMALL BUSINESS TAX RELIEF ACT

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, workers and small businesses all across 
the country have suffered greatly in Obama's economy. Over 90 million 
people are not participating in our workforce, and wages have remained 
stagnant, creating a squeeze on the middle class.
  Expanding the size of government by raising taxes and increasing 
regulations will not help America recover; instead, working Americans 
are counting on us to make it easier and not harder to find 
opportunities so that they can earn a steady paycheck and provide for 
their families.
  I ask my colleagues to support America's Small Business Tax Relief 
Act, legislation that the House will vote on tomorrow, sponsored by 
Congressman Tiberi. I know, from traveling my district in Indiana, that 
small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and this bill will 
allow job creators to deduct expenses and investments for new equipment 
the year that they are purchased, making it easier for businesses to 
grow.
  This legislation could help produce tens of thousands of jobs and add 
billions of dollars in economic output.
  Tomorrow, let's stand for common sense and pass a bill that will help 
kick-start our economy and make it easier for small businesses and 
workers to succeed.
