                    ASSAULT ON AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Mrs. Miller) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, we face an unprecedented 
assault on the American way of life by the radical left.
  Under President Biden's leadership, the left has weaponized the 
Federal Government to go after the American people.
  President Biden is building an IRS army of 85,000 new IRS agents to 
investigate middle-class Americans and ruin their lives. The Biden IRS 
wants the power to spy on private citizens' bank accounts and monitor 
their transactions.
  Biden's Treasury Secretary said her next goal is to create a new tax 
on the value of farmland in America. This will destroy the American 
family farm and eliminate independent food production.
  The Biden-Harris administration is also weaponizing OSHA to fire 
Americans who live paycheck to paycheck if they don't make a healthcare 
decision about vaccines that leftwing politicians don't like.
  Madam Speaker, I note this hypocrisy from pro-abortion liberals who 
use the ``my body my choice'' slogan. We watched last week as Biden's 
Attorney General tried to defend the use of the FBI agents who 
intimidated, harassed, and want to spy on parents who show up to school 
board meetings to speak in opposition to the Biden agenda.
  Middle-class parents are rightfully outraged that President Biden and 
leftwing school boards want to turn their children against each other 
with racist curriculum or indoctrinate their young children with 
perverted sexual content.
  Americans used to be protected by the First Amendment. They were 
allowed to speak freely in our society. Our Constitution and Bill of 
Rights limit the power of the Federal Government because our Nation is 
a place where people should be free to start independent small 
businesses and raise their own children.

                              {time}  1045

  The Biden administration and the radical left have a far different 
agenda. They want to use the FBI to intimidate and harass Americans; 
they want to use the IRS to spy on Americans; and they want to use OSHA 
to fire Americans.
  The Federal Government is now a tool, a weapon that they want to use 
to make Americans obey. My constituents and the American people will 
not be intimidated by the Biden administration or the radical left, 
Madam Speaker. We are born free and our rights come from God.
  Our response to a weaponized Federal Government is loud and clear. In 
the spirit of freedom, we say: Let's go, Brandon.
