   (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, a government investigation said 
that the IRS gave, quote-unquote, wrong information 50 percent 
of the time. In addition, they say one-third of all calls to 
the IRS go unanswered. 

   Unbelievable. According to my math, the IRS is upside down 
about 80 percent of the time. If that is not enough to give 
your 1040 a hernia, the IRS says, give us more money and we 
will solve our problems. Beam me up. The IRS does not need 
more money. Congress has got to abolish the IRS. 

   A recent national poll says 70 percent of American taxpayers 
favor the Tauzin-Traficant 15 percent national sales tax. No 
more forms, no more tax on capital gains, savings, investment, 
education, inheritance. Think about it. And the IRS is 
abolished. 

   I yield back those stumbling, fumbling, bumbling, 
nincompoops at the IRS.
