     THE TAX CUT BENEFITS WILL GO TOWARD THE WEALTHIEST IN AMERICA

  (Mr. VOLKMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. VOLKMER. Mr. Speaker, this is the 92d day of our imperial 
speakership. What has happened in that 92 days? Well, they voted, the 
majority Republicans voted to take heating assistance away from my 
poor, they voted to take school lunches and breakfasts out of the 
mouths of the children in my district. They voted to take food stamps 
from the working poor and children in my district. They voted to take 
the training and education away from women on welfare who want to be 
off of welfare. Now they are talking about taking college loans away 
from my middle-income families so they cannot go to colleges or 
universities.
  What are they going to do with this? They are going to give it to the 
wealthy, $200,000 income parents who have children. Those are the 
children that they are worried about they want to take care of. They 
want to give it away in capital gains cuts for big investors who own 
shopping centers, who own stocks and bonds on Wall Street. That is 
where they want to give it.
  Last, who do they really want to give it to? How about GE, AT&T, IBM, 
and all the big corporations, because they are no longer, under their 
tax bill, going to have to pay 1 penny in taxes. That is who the money 
goes to.
