TAKE PRIDE IN OUR COUNTRY
(Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BURCHETT. Madam Speaker, the American taxpayers are expected to write the Democrats a blank check for this socialist scam. Democrats want to squeeze as much money as possible from successful individuals and businesses.
Madam Speaker, this is completely wrong. We shouldn't be punishing success in America to finance this far-left political agenda. It is obvious why Joe Biden is pushing so hard for an aggressive expansion of government dependency programs and the dismantling of domestic energy production. He wants to virtue signal to his globalist pals during the United Nations climate summit this weekend in Scotland.
Democrats like Biden are embarrassed and ashamed of our country. He desperately wants acceptance from European countries to boost his progressive ego.
Why do we care what foreign elitists think of our country, Madam Speaker? Biden needs to prioritize American citizens instead of European politicians.
We do things differently than the rest of the world. I am proud of our national values. The leader of our government should take pride in the country he leads, too.
