                            FRIDAY THE 15TH

  (Mr. GOSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Friday, April 15, tax day. People 
are asking themselves, ``What am I getting for my hard earned money?'' 
It is probably more instructive to study what Americans are not 
getting. They are not getting good Government. They are not getting a 
balanced budget that is a fact--a sad fact. They are not getting an 
honest accounting of the tremendous waste, but they are getting higher 
taxes. Despite the rhetoric, it is not just the rich who will pay 
more: Taxpayers earning less than $30,000 are paying about one-third of 
the gas tax increase. And seniors with incomes of just $34,000 are due 
for a sizable increase in Social Security taxes. April 15 is the day 
the truth starts to come out about the Clinton administration 1993 tax 
hikes: Everyone pays more. Congress is heading out of town for that day 
of reckoning. But there is no hiding. Election day is coming November 8 
just as surely as April 15.
