         SUPPORT THE TAUZIN-TRAFICANT NATIONAL RETAIL SALES TAX

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, the IRS sent Joshua Jones a bill for 
$47,000. They said, Joshua, pay up or else. Joshua was in shock. Madam 
Speaker, Joshua Jones is 13 years old.
  Now, I ask my colleagues, what did Joshua do, mow 50,000 lawns? Sell 
a million cups of lemonade? Beam me up. Thank God the burden of proof 
is now on the IRS.
  But I have a better solution now for the Internal Revenue Service. 
Support the Tauzin-Traficant national retail sales tax. No more forms, 
no more income tax, no more audits, no more bills, no more IRS, and it 
is that simple. This is not rocket science.
  I yield back the dilemma of Joshua Jones.
