                      TAX INCREASES NOT A SOLUTION

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House

[[Page H4307]]

for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Well, Mr. Speaker, there they go again.
  Mr. Speaker, it is indeed a tragedy when our liberal friends on the 
other side again, despite an excess of rhetoric, use as their main bone 
of contention that the way to solve problems is to impose a new tax. 
And you heard my good friend from Massachusetts, even as he called, 
properly I believe, for the expansion of the use of our fossil fuels, 
although certain friends over there will try to have it both ways, in 
the heat now of seeing a problem, the key to what he talked about was a 
tax increase.
  Mr. Speaker, the way we solve these problems should be based on this 
acknowledgment: The American people work hard for the money they earn, 
and all Americans should hang onto more of that hard-earned money and 
send less of it to Washington.
  So no to all tax increases, roll back the Clinton gas tax, and let 
that be not an end to itself, but the start of the rollback of the 
assault of Washington on the pocketbooks of Mr. and Mrs. America.
