                       LIBERALS OPPOSE TAX REFORM

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, what does a liberal do when 
confronted with a tax cut? He opposes it. He condemns it. He becomes 
outraged at the very idea that Washington could get along with a little 
less and a family could do with a little more.
  I opened up the Washington Post to find the headline, President 
Bashes GOP Tax Plan. Then turning to the New York Times, I find this 
headline: Clinton Attacks GOP Tax Overhaul Plan.

  It appears that the days of working on a bipartisan basis with the 
Republican Congress are over. Liberals are upset. In fact, they are mad 
at the President for finally helping to pass a tax cut for middle-class 
families last year. So the liberals will not let the President continue 
down the road of tax relief, IRS reform, and overhaul of the Tax Code.
  I guess the New Democrats at the White House are no longer calling 
the shots these days. It is too bad. The American people want tax 
reform.
