[Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 30 (Thursday, February 15, 2024)] [House] [Page H663] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PRESIDENT BIDEN'S WORK TO BETTER AMERICA (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 President Biden's work to better America. It is tax time again, and under Republican leadership, America's richest 1 percent do not mind tax time because they save billions in unpaid taxes. Instead, Republicans like to force middle- and lower- class Americans to pay more. They rob the poor to pay the rich. President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act is forcing the richest, tax-cheating Americans and American corporations to pay their fair share. It has helped recover more than $500 million from 1,600 delinquent millionaires already. Forcing millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share will raise $500 billion during the next decade. These funds will cut the deficit and provide more resources for hardworking American families. I am proud to support President Biden's efforts to help Americans, and I am proud to be a Democrat because we put people over politics. ____________________
