                  ALLOW AMERICANS TO KEEP THEIR MONEY

  (Mr. CAMPBELL of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CAMPBELL of California. Mr. Speaker, we learned this week that in 
April of this year, the Federal Government received more tax revenue in 
that month than in any month ever in the history of the Republic. It 
results in an over 11 percent increase in revenue to the government 
this year, on top of over an 11 percent increase last year and an 
almost 15 percent increase the year before that. But, yet, the budget 
that the Democrats propose includes the largest tax increase in 
American history as they continue to impose tax increase after tax 
increase after tax increase. The question is, why? When Federal 
Government revenues have increased over 37 percent in the last 3 years, 
why do we want to increase spending by 40 percent in 3 years, 50 
percent, 60 percent? Why? We should not be confiscating more money from 
the people in order to increase government. We should be allowing the 
people to keep more of their own money so that the economy can continue 
to grow.
