H7438 | Congressional Record, Volume 158 Issue 170 (Sunday, December 30, 2012) [Congressional Record Volume 158, Number 170 (Sunday, December 30, 2012)] [House] [Page H7438] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUTS (Ms. McCOLLUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, this Republican-controlled House has less than 36 hours to pass an extension of middle class tax cuts. Count me in as a ``yes'' vote right now to protect 98 percent of taxpayers from a tax increase. There should be bipartisan support to protect middle class families from higher taxes as our economy recovers. So I sincerely hope that this Republican House is not so broken, so dysfunctional, and so out of touch with the real lives of Americans that the majority simply refuses to stand with Democrats to immediately pass an extension of the middle class tax cuts. Yes, the top negotiations on other fiscal cliff issues must continue, but, Mr. Speaker, do not deny this Congress the opportunity to vote on a clean bill protecting middle class Americans. Let's start the new year by passing a commonsense, bipartisan extension of the middle class tax cuts and show America that Congress still works. ____________________ |
