                       SUPPORT THE BUSH TAX PLAN

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, what the big government liberals in 
Washington want to do to the working men

and women is reach their hand in their pocket, grab the wallet, pull 
out all of their hard-earned cash, year after year, so that the working 
people now are paying about 40 percent of their household income in 
taxes.
  What the Bush tax plan is saying is, hey, look, we do not need all of 
that money we have been grabbing out of your wallet. Let us put it back 
in there. Then, when the working people can control their own money, 
they get to save it. How, how about an education account for one of 
your children? How about a new dryer? How about a long, hard-earned 
vacation? Better still, if you want to, you go out and buy something on 
the economy, treat yourself. When you do that, businesses respond by 
increasing their inventory. They have to hire more people because of 
the new demand, and when they do, there are more jobs in the economy, 
more people are working, less people are laid off, less people are on 
welfare and unemployment, and we have more tax revenues coming in. It 
is a win-win.
  Why do the Washington liberals not get it, Mr. Speaker? People know 
how to spend their money far better than Washington does. Let us let 
them keep more of their own money. Support the Bush plan.
