                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.
