    DEMOCRATS WANT A TAX CUT FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES WHO MOST NEED IT

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, we want a tax cut. The Congress has 
voted for 85 billion dollars' worth of tax cuts over the next few 
years. What Democrats say is we want that tax cut for America's 
families who most need it. We believe that those middle-income families 
who work hard to raise their children, who want them to go to college, 
need that assistance. We want the

bulk of Americans to have the benefit of this Tax Code. The Democratic 
plan gives us that advantage.
  Mr. Speaker, the Republican plan speaks to the wealthiest 5 percent 
of American citizens who have benefited from America's greatness. The 
Democratic plan provides for children in America to receive that higher 
education for families in America who work every day to receive the 
support that they need.
  Support the Democratic tax plan. Let us work with our colleagues to 
make sure that our plan reaches those Americans who need it most.
