PROTECTING THE AMERICAN DREAM -- (House of Representatives - April 14, 2005)

(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, yesterday's passage of the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act was a victory for American families, farmers, and small business owners.

Since reducing the death tax in 2001, over 3 million new jobs have been created in our country. Unfortunately, Congress provided the American people with a temporary solution to a serious problem. The death tax is scheduled to go back into effect in 2010.

The leadership on this issue of the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Hulshof) and the majority leader, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay), has been essential in protecting the American Dream.
