A Contraband Flow Chart

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, this organizational chart is a chart that represents the new way that health care would be handled in the United States under the Democrats' plan. This is a chart that we will not be allowed, though, to send out to our constituents because it has been ruled inappropriate to send out. But we want the American people to see it.

The other thing that people need to know about the Democrat health bill is that it's going to give higher taxes to small businesses and it's going to destroy jobs. According to the Democrats' plan, filers making $280,000 will be hit with a 1 percent surtax. Filers making $400,000 will be hit by a 1.5 percent surtax, and filers making $800,000 will be hit by a 5.4 percent surtax.

Because most small businesses pay their taxes as part of their owner's individual tax filing, a majority of those hit by this new tax will be small businesses. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, an industry hard hit by the economy, 68 percent of manufacturers file as S corporations with an average income of $570,000. We also know this bill will destroy 4.7 million jobs. That's too many jobs to destroy in this country. We don't need this health care bill.
