                         RIGHT ON, MRS. BARRON

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, on the advice of their accountant, the 
Barrons of New Hampshire took an $80,000 investment loss. Years later, 
the IRS came in, they said no, and they hit the Barrons with a $330,000 
tag in penalties and interest; $330,000, unbelievable. The pressure was 
so great Bruce Barron killed himself. After the death, the IRS took the 
home, took everything they had.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
  Under a new law, Mrs. Barron is suing the IRS, and I say, right on. I 
hope the IRS gets their assets kicked all the way up to their gestapo 
tactics. The IRS, after all, has deserved it; the IRS has earned it.
  Think about it, Congress, and I yield back all the rest of that IRS 
loan sharking and ripoffs of interest and penalties.
