TAX CUTS
(Mr. OWENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, Democrats like tax cuts, too, but the
Democratic Party's tax policies are targeted to do the most good for
the majority of Americans. Working families will be the beneficiaries
of the Democratic tax policy.
Republicans want tax cuts which give more to the have-mores. Tax cuts
for the rich are luxury toys, but tax cuts for working families are
absolute necessities.
Working families need more child care tax credits. Working families
need tuition tax credits to help their children attend college and rise
up the economic ladder.
Let the corporations pay more taxes if we need revenue for the war in
Iraq or any other activity. Change the Federal rules for the way we
charge for our assets, grazing land, mining rights or the sale and
lease of the spectrum above us, which is owned by the American people.
Democrats want tax cuts, but we want tax cuts for working families.
