- END UNFUNDED MANDATES: STOP THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S MEDDLING
-
- (Mrs. MYRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for
- 1 minute.)
- Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, as mayor of the booming city of Charlotte,
- NC, I experienced, firsthand, the absurdity of unfunded mandates.
- We were forced to curtail services that our constituents had already
- paid taxes to support, in order to avoid being taxed twice for the same
- things.
- American taxpayers are paying over 50 percent of every dollar they
- earn in taxes.
- They view unfunded Federal mandates as Government inefficiency and
- double taxation.
- We must pass H.R. 5--if for no other reason than because the American
- taxpayers demand it.
