mr. camp: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 6169, the pathway to job creation through a simpler, fairer tax code. republicans and democrats voted to extend tax cuts until the end of next year. it provides congress a time to enact and pass comprehensive tax reform. without risking further damage to a fragile economy. the failure to stop the tax hike looming at the end of the year could push us over a jobs cliff. i know many democrats want to raise taxes but an independent study by ernst & young said it would eliminate over 700,000 jobs. we can't afford to lose more jobs in the united states and that is why we voted to extend current tax policy. instead of raising taxes on small businesses and making it harder to create jobs, as the democrat plan did, republicans are focused on creating jobs, reforming the tax code to make it simpler and fairer for all americans and strengthening our economy. the bill before us today provides a pathway to that goal. this bill forces congress to do its job.
