mr. speaker , that is a very important point . 
i know when this debate takes place tomorrow , and we have heard about so many of the great tax relief provisions which have been passed for american families and small business , and how they are going to be taken away tomorrow if we do not defeat this democrat tax increase , but the capital gains and dividends , we know the rhetoric . 
the class warfare rhetoric of our friends on the other side of the aisle , we know it is coming . 
yet i sit here and i think they claim they love jobs , they just seem to hate the people who create them . 
capital gains and dividends is all about investment . 
again , you can not have the benefits of capitalism and job creation without that capital in the first place . 
since i was quite young , i have held a number of jobs in my life . 
my first job , i come from an agricultural family . 
we raised poultry . 
frankly , my first job in life was cleaning out chicken houses . 
it was a job i did not want to hold for later on . 
later i bussed tables at the holiday inn in college station , texas . 
i used to be a desk clerk at the ramada inn . 
i used to load windows at a window factory in bryan , texas . 
i am trying to live it down , but i actually practiced law once . 
i was an officer in two different corporations . 
the point i am making is of all of the jobs i have had , i have always tried to work hard and tried to learn something and tried to improve myself and move up that ladder . 
and guess what , in all of the jobs i have had , no poor person ever hired me . 
no poor person ever hired me . 
it was somebody who had managed to amass some capital , and he or she went out and risked that capital in a business enterprise that succeeded and because of that i got a job . 
i received a paycheck . 
again , you can not love jobs and hate the people who create them . 
by trying to increase the taxes on capital gains and dividends , you are attacking investors , you are attacking job creators and you are taking away jobs from american families , and that is wrong and that is another reason we must defeat this democrat tax increase tomorrow .
