                WANT TO SEE A LIBERAL BECOME HYSTERICAL?

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, if you think it is fun to watch a liberal 
become hysterical, then here is a fun trick that you might want to try. 
Next time you are in the company of liberals, especially the kind who 
make a big deal about how compassionate they are with other people's 
money, mention that you heard that the Republicans in Congress are 
going to do away with the income tax withholding. In other words, 
mention that you heard a rumor, and it is apparently true, that 
conservative Republicans are going to get rid of income tax withholding 
and make everyone send in one big check to Uncle Sam at the end of each 
year for their income tax. The reaction you will get cannot be 
expressed in words.
  First, there is silence, dead silence, and then we will see an 
expression of sheer panic and terror on their face. The liberal knows 
that if we are forced to see in one lump sum just how much money is 
forked over to the Federal Government every year we would revolt, and 
the liberals would never win another election.
  Try that sometime on liberal friends, and enjoy the show.
