                          ABOLISH THE TAX CODE

  (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 tax code accounts for 24 percent of 
the cost of an American-made automobile. Now, think about it. You buy a 
car made in America for $20,000 and $5,000 of it goes to satisfy the 
tax code. Beam me up. I say, let us throw the tax code out; let us 
abolish the IRS, pass a flat 15 percent savings tax. No more tax on 
education, savings, investment, corporations, capital gains. And one 
last thing. No more forms, no more IRS. Congress, let us handcuff the 
IRS to a chain link fence and flog them with the income tax code.
  I yield back the millions of audits and gouging of the American 
taxpayers.
