              LOWER TAXES MEANS MORE FREEDOM FOR AMERICANS

  (Mr. ROGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

[[Page H1243]]

  Mr. ROGAN. Mr. Speaker, when Congress cuts taxes, people have more 
freedom. Freedom to decide how to spend the money they earn as they see 
fit. Freedom to save and invest for their own home, for a new car or a 
family vacation. Freedom to prepare for their retirement, and freedom 
to save for their children's education or to continue their own. 
Freedom to live the American dream, just as their parents and 
grandparents dared to dream.
  Mr. Speaker, America is still a land of opportunity for millions of 
people who have the perseverance and discipline to make it so. Over 1 
million immigrants come to our shores each year demonstrating that 
they, too, believe that America is the land of opportunity.
  If Congress wants to allow our people to use their talents and hard 
work to get ahead, it should cut taxes for families. But, if Congress 
prefers instead to continue imposing ever-greater burdens on our 
families, the American dream will become just that--a dream.
