                              NO TAX HIKES

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this administration's new 
budget torpedoes core values we Americans hold dear: hard work, 
fairness and the freedom to thrive.
  Sadly, the new budget will raise taxes on anyone who works hard, 
plays by the rules and pays taxes. It will raise taxes on anyone who 
drives a car, turns on their lights or saves. It will raise taxes on 
people who donate to charity or own a home. It will raise taxes on 
anyone who plans, hopes or dreams of becoming successful.
  That's just wrong. We must not raise taxes, but save America during 
this severe recession.
