                    LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, MEET SEINFELD

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, can my colleagues imagine a conversation 
between George Kastanza and Jerry Seinfeld about tax cuts? The level of 
absurdity would compare to what I am hearing on the House floor today 
about trying to give a tax cut to those who do not pay any taxes.
  Now, everyone familiar with Seinfeld knows that George can have a 
rather warped view of reality at times and Jerry likes nothing better 
than to point out his distorted views. Can you just imagine out-of-work 
George, before he got hired by the Yankees, saying how he feels cheated 
because he is not getting a tax cut? Then Jerry would ask, ``How could 
that be?'' He would ask, ``How much taxes do you currently pay?'' And 
George would say, ``Zero.'' And Jerry would say, ``In other words, you 
pay no taxes but you want a tax cut.'' And George would say, 
``Exactly.'' And that is when Jerry would say, ``Oh, boy.''
  And there we have it: Liberal Democrats, meet Jerry Seinfeld.
