                               CUT TAXES

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I am shocked at the arrogance 
of some Members, who stand before this body and continually bellyache--
that when the Republican tax relief passes, the Federal Government will 
lose revenue. I cannot believe that we have to stand up and remind 
Members--the money we spend is not ours, the Government did not work 
one day to earn that money. And yet Members continue to gripe.
  Lower taxes put money back into the pockets of the people who get up 
every morning, send their kids off to school and put in 8 hours earning 
a decent living. By standing up and saying the Government will lose 
money is saying to Americans, work hard, but remember, at the end of 
the day send all your money to Washington because we want to spend it, 
because we know better than you how to do that.
  Wake up, Congress, it is not our money, let us remember why we were 
elected. Give the American taxpayers a needed break. Cut taxes.
