                           KEEP CUTTING TAXES

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, President Clinton told 
voters that if they supported a tax cut, they were selfish. He really 
said that. Here it is, in black and white. The President really said 
this.
  Unfortunately, this is a common view among liberals, so while this 
view may sound shocking, the only thing that is really surprising is 
that the President would actually come out and say out loud what 
liberals and many folks who believe like he believes actually think. It 
is their attitude that they are actually doing us a favor by letting us 
keep more of our own money.
  I find the idea that people should be scolded for thinking that they 
are the best judge of how to spend their own money is the perfect 
example of the arrogance that is so characteristic of very many elitist 
liberals. But at least we now know what the President really thinks. 
Let us continue to cut taxes and let hard-working Americans keep more 
of what they earn.
