           THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY PROTECTION AGAINST TAXATION

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the tax-and-spend Democrats are at it 
again. They are suing us Republicans, do you believe it, to overturn 
our rules change that requires a three-fifths majority vote to raise 
taxes. Can you believe it? These Democrats will stoop to anything to 
continue their hell-bent-for-leather ways of taxing and spending this 
Nation into bankruptcy.
  Mr. Speaker, you tell them for me, it is not going to work. Article 
I, section 5 of the Constitution, read it, clearly gives us the right 
to set the rules of this House.
  The three-fifths majority vote to raise taxes will stand as a 
hindrance to any Democrat attempt to foist more taxes on the American 
people. There ain't going to be any more.
