                  KEEPING MONEY IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, it is really very simple: there is waste in 
the private sector, just like there is waste in the public sector; but 
the waste in the business world pales in comparison to the waste in 
government. Thus, every dollar we can keep in the private sector 
creates more jobs and lowers more prices. We get more bang for the 
buck, so to speak, from every dollar kept in private hands.
  Who benefits the most from having more jobs and lower prices? The 
poor and lower-income and working people of this country. This has been 
proven time and again all over the world. Small government means a good 
economy. Too much government means a starvation economy where the 
middle class gets wiped out.
  Mr. Speaker, that is what this tax cut is all about. If people really 
want to help the lower-income and working people of this country, they 
will support the President's tax cut initiative.
