                       TAKE PRIDE IN OUR COUNTRY

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, the American taxpayers are expected to 
write the Democrats a blank check for this socialist scam. Democrats

want to squeeze as much money as possible from successful individuals 
and businesses.
  Madam Speaker, this is completely wrong. We shouldn't be punishing 
success in America to finance this far-left political agenda. It is 
obvious why Joe Biden is pushing so hard for an aggressive expansion of 
government dependency programs and the dismantling of domestic energy 
production. He wants to virtue signal to his globalist pals during the 
United Nations climate summit this weekend in Scotland.
  Democrats like Biden are embarrassed and ashamed of our country. He 
desperately wants acceptance from European countries to boost his 
progressive ego.
  Why do we care what foreign elitists think of our country, Madam 
Speaker? Biden needs to prioritize American citizens instead of 
European politicians.
  We do things differently than the rest of the world. I am proud of 
our national values. The leader of our government should take pride in 
the country he leads, too.
