                        HIGH TAXES DESTROY JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today marks tax day, a day 
when Americans must file their taxes.
  The broken Tax Code is nearly 75,000 pages and has excessive 
regulations, destroys jobs, and lacks certainty. The tax bill is too 
high for hardworking American families. This year Americans will 
collectively spend more on taxes than basic necessities like food, 
clothing, and housing combined.
  New ObamaCare taxes destroy jobs. We must make the Tax Code fair and 
simple to allow hardworking American families and small businesses to 
keep more of their hard-earned tax dollars.
  That is why I am grateful to be an original cosponsor of H.R. 27, Tax 
Code Termination Act, which would retire the old, burdensome Tax Code 
and replace it with a system that provides tax relief for working 
Americans, protects the rights of taxpayers, eliminates bias against 
saving, and creates jobs.
  I will continue to work in Congress toward a commonsense solution 
that creates a fair and simple Tax Code for American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
