                   STOP OVERTAXATION AND OVERSPENDING

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to say that 
Democrats remain ready to tax and spend as much as they can. Whether 
it's a war tax, an Internet tax, or a cigarette tax that will overly 
burden low-income families, the first Democrat solution seems to be to 
tax hard-working Americans.
  And when they are not trying to raise taxes on American workers, they 
are spending their hard-earned money at reckless levels. The $23 
billion in new domestic spending this majority has proposed is just 
another sign that they feel they know better how to spend your own 
money.
  We must restore fiscal sanity to government, but we should do that by 
making the necessary decisions here in Washington to save taxpayer 
money and spend wisely. Both parties need to pass fiscally responsible 
appropriations legislation rather than wait until we are forced to vote 
on a giant omnibus spending bill that will be full of earmarks. Let's 
stop asking Americans to pay for government's inability to get the job 
done.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th.
