                          TIME FOR TAX RELIEF

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, the American people are tired of burning in 
tax hell. For a generation now, American families and businesses have 
become virtual money trees for liberal Democrats. In order to finance 
their loony leftwing redistribution programs, Democrats have left no 
area of American life untouched. Virtually every facet of life is now 
taxed.
  Americans today face Federal, State, and local income taxes and they 
have to pay tolls, fees, FICA, social security, capital gains, sales 
taxes, and on and on. On top of all this, Americans get very little in 
return, except a request for more, and a warning from Democrats that 
they are insensitive to the plight of others.
  No wonder Americans are fed up with Government. Most Americans now 
pay 25 cents to 40 cents out of every dollar that they earn and if we 
do not do something about this soon, they will be paying 84 cents out 
of every dollar in taxes.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people voted for the Republican majority to 
reduce taxes and cut spending and we are going to do it.
