[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 7] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 9344] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]PASS H.R. 4213 ______ HON. JOHN GARAMENDI of california in the house of representatives Tuesday, May 25, 2010 Mr. GARAMENDI. Madam Speaker, before this week is over, we will vote to create jobs in America. We will do this by discouraging the outsourcing of American jobs and supporting our nation's workforce and small businesses. For too long, large corporations have exploited tax loopholes by slipping between foreign and U.S. tax codes. This system permits big businesses to evade their responsibilities and shifts the tax burden onto everyone else. It also encourages big businesses to move jobs from the U.S. to other countries. This begs the question: Why would we perpetuate a system that encourages the outsourcing of American jobs? This Democratic-led Congress is saying no more. Big businesses have to pay their fair share just like the rest of us. This Congress is lifting the tax burden off the middle class still struggling from the Bush recession. We are leading a recovery of shared prosperity. We are bringing jobs to America through targeted tax cuts and smart investments: this includes tax credits for research and development, support for 250,000 summer jobs, and tax incentives for small businesses in low-income communities and in the hard-hit construction sector. We should, hopefully with the support of the Republicans, pass H.R. 4213, close harmful corporate tax loopholes, and create jobs right here, in America, right now.
