                              GOP TAX SCAM

  (Mr. YARMUTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. YARMUTH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer a real-life account 
of the raw deal Republicans gave the American people with their GOP tax 
scam.
  Dennis, a retired constituent of mine from Louisville, who still 
works part time, recently wrote a letter to the Courier-Journal 
newspaper. He stated: ``The so-called tax cut for the middle class is 
going to cost me an estimated $600 more in taxes in 2018.''
  Dennis pays his taxes quarterly, which is why he did these 
calculations now. He added in part: ``I urge people to look into this 
so-called great tax break for the middle class. This might change your 
mind on the current Members of Congress that have been misleading you 
to thinking they are actually working to help you, unless you are one 
of the big donors!''
  Dennis isn't alone. By the time this scam is fully implemented, more 
than 80 million middle class families will see their taxes increase. 
That is not progress. That is a ripoff.
