                          MADE IN AMERICA TAX

  (Mr. MOORE of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Madam Speaker, President Reagan said it: The 
government's idea on the economy is when it is moving, you tax it; if 
it keeps moving, you regulate it; when it fails, you subsidize it.
  If the government would stop taxing and regulating, we wouldn't need 
the subsidizing. The Democrats are the champions of Big Government 
because they would rather gain power through taxes and regulations than 
see our economy actually grow. That is what their tax-and-spend agenda 
is all about, it is power.
  Today, the Biden economic crisis is raging, yet President Biden and 
Speaker Pelosi are pushing the made in America tax that will only 
aggravate the crisis facing all of America. The made in America tax 
policy will drive up taxes on U.S. firms and workers both at home and 
in every country they do business in around the world.
  This bill would also create a complex, parallel tax system that 
punishes investment in American production, permanently stop key 
domestic mineral development, and allow China to continue to have a 
monopoly on critical mineral markets.
  The Democrats' made-in-America tax would give more power to 
Washington, but make it better for a foreign company or a foreign 
worker than for an American worker.
  We need leaders in Washington who will put Americans first.
