  BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX BREAKS FOR MILLIONAIRES AND NOTHING FOR 
                                 DANIEL

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, Republicans continue to try to 
sell their huge tax break for the rich by promising tax relief for 
middle-class Americans. But under the Republican plan millions of 
working Americans get no tax cuts, they only get empty promises. Let us 
take an example:
  Daniel is a police officer. He works hard and supports his wife and 
four children on his $26,000 salary. He pays thousands of dollars in 
taxes. What does Daniel get from the Republican tax bill? Nothing, 
zero, zip. Democrats want to give Daniel and millions of other working 
families a tax cut.
  What do Republicans say about Daniel? Daniel, the police officer? 
They said Daniel is on welfare. Billions of dollars in tax breaks for 
millionaires, nothing for Daniel, nothing for millions of hardworking 
families. That is the Republican tax bill, that is the Republican tax 
plan.
