                         BIDEN TAX PLEDGE A LIE

  (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, last month, Fox Business 
reported that Biden repeated his false campaign pledge that he would 
not raise taxes on Americans making below $400,000. Days afterwards, 
tax commissioner, Danny Werfel, was hiring 3,700 employees, which is 
insulting as higher income earners have returns carefully prepared by 
professional accountants, unlike Hunter Biden's evasions.
  In direct conflict to Biden, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax 
Administration said there is no way to identify taxpayers that meet the 
criteria of $400,000 or more.
  According to Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, 
the findings of the inspector general blew up the narrative, and the 
Democrats are knowingly lying.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America with Biden open borders and 
an attack here imminent.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Byron Thomas, a valued member of the 
congressional district office for winning a seat on the Cayce City 
Council. We are proud of him, and we know he will serve the public 
well.
