                      TIME TO ABOLISH INCOME TAXES

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, in America, the government takes the 
people's money and distributes it. That sounds like communism to me. I 
think it is time to throw out income taxes. No more forms, no more 
audits, no more IRS. Think about it. I am going to quote now Reverend 
Jim Ford. He says, think about this: The IRS does not even send us a 
thank you for voluntarily paying our income taxes.
  Beam me up. It is time to abolish income taxes, abolish the IRS, and 
pass a flat 15 percent national sales tax.
  I yield back the IRS.
