                      MORAL BASIS OF CUTTING TAXES

  (Mr. GINGRICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I made the case in a special 
order on the moral basis of cutting taxes; a moral basis because lower 
taxes means that parents have more money to raise their children and 
their family; a moral basis because lower taxes means that citizens 
have more time and more take-home pay to be good citizens, to be 
involved in charitable events, to be involved as volunteers in helping 
their community; a moral basis for cutting taxes because with lower 
taxes and more take-home pay, people have more opportunity to create 
jobs, to save, and to invest and to help the economy keep growing.
  For every American who is interested in noting how the tax bill we 
are proposing would help them, they can check on the Internet GOP tax 
calculator at http://hillsource.house.gov.
 I will repeat that. For those who are involved in the Internet, this 
is an opportunity for them to look directly at the tax bill to check 
for themselves how they would benefit under our tax relief plan. It is 
on the Internet, GOP tax calculator, and the address is http://
hillsource.house.gov.
 Our goal is to have all Americans have an opportunity to look at 
their tax cut and the opportunity they will have. This is the first tax 
cut in 16 years. We believe that working middle-class Americans deserve 
tax relief. We believe that tax relief should focus on families with 
children. It should focus on small business and family farms. It should 
focus on job creation, and it should focus on helping people get a 
better education.
  So I urge Members to look at the Internet site to find out the 
information for the tax cut.
