there is a new dawn in America for working men and women. The Republican tax cuts will enable all hardworking Americans to keep more, not less, of the money they earn, giving them more freedom to grow, more freedom to prosper, and more freedom to create new jobs for others. It will allow them to meet their personal needs and to fulfill their family responsibilities. A working father and mother will not have to take that second job that takes them away from their kids or from doing the things they enjoy. They will have more time to make a positive difference in their community. They will not have to go into debt or mortgage the family home or business just to send their kids to college. They can pursue that once out of reach dream of starting their own business. Too often, Mr. Speaker, the crushing burden of Federal taxes undermines these vital opportunities and takes away our freedom to pursue our dreams. The Republican tax relief package is a first step in restoring those stolen dreams and freedoms, or creating new opportunities for all Americans to explore and enjoy. I urge all my colleagues to support the Republican tax plan.
