                   TAX CUTS TO BENEFIT ALL TAXPAYERS

  (Mr. ROGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROGAN. Madam Speaker, we Republicans across the country 
campaigned last year on the issue of tax relief for working families. 
We said that Americans are overtaxed, and America agreed. That is why 
last year more Americans voted for Republicans than voted Democrat in 
the Congressional elections.
  By now it is no surprise that Republicans actually meant what they 
said. The House of Representatives under the Republicans have passed 
tax relief for working families. This is upsetting to many on the left, 
still locked in the 1960s mentality that demonizes those that save, 
invest, create jobs, and pay the lion's share of taxes.
  Our relief package is fair and balanced. It puts aside $2 for Social 
Security and Medicare for every $1 in tax relief for working families.
  It does something foreign to the left that controlled this chamber 
for 40 years before us. It pays down the national debt by some $1 
trillion, and it cuts taxes so that all taxpaying families will 
benefit.
  The Republican Party is the party of tax relief for working families.
