                       GOP IS FOCUSED ON THE RICH

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

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss how the Republicans 
are helping the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans and how they are not 
helping the rest of America.
  They continue to focus on tax cuts for the richest Americans. They 
continue to push for tax breaks for multi-billion dollar corporations, 
and they want the rest of us to pay for them.
  They want to slash investments in childcare, education, healthcare, 
and public safety; and now, they want to attack Social Security, 
Medicaid, and Medicare.
  Democrats are putting people over politics. We are strengthening the 
middle class and we are working for American families.
  With President Biden's leadership, we are creating millions of jobs 
and lowering the price of common consumer goods. Americans are driving 
on new roads and bridges thanks to our work.
  These successes are examples of why I am proud to be a Democrat.
