                THE REPUBLICAN TAX CUTS ARE FOR EVERYONE

  (Mr. JONES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, the Republican tax fairness and deficit 
reduction proposal cuts taxes for everyone; individuals, families, and 
senior citizens. Most importantly, the proposal provides relief for 
working families. Since 1988, the working family has had their median 
income plunge approximately $2,500 while receiving a 2.5-percent 
increase in taxes. Over 75 percent of our tax relief proposal will 
focus on restoring fairness to the middle class. The remaining 25 
percent will go directly to deficit reduction. The cuts are designed to 
lend a helping hand to the middle-class working family, the $500 per 
child family tax credit, the tax credit for adoption expenses, and the 
tax credit for small businesses.
  Republicans are committed to reducing the burden of government on the 
working families.
