                            IRS INVESTIGATED

  (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, after destroying lives and ruining 
families for years, reports now say that the IRS is being investigated 
for targeting political opponents. Being one, I find it amusing that 
all of the sudden files are missing, agents have amnesia, and evidence 
just cannot be found.
  Truth is, the IRS has been lying through their teeth for so long, 
they need braces. Think about it. Little Punxsutawney Phil can find his 
shadow, but the big bad IRS cannot find their laptops.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
  It is time to abolish both the income tax and the IRS. Replace it 
with a national retail sales tax.
  Mr. Speaker, one last thing. I yield back the lies, crimes, dental 
needs, and amnesia of the ``Internal Rectal Service.''
