I’m just a humble boy from Knoxville.
I don’t play the stock market, and I don’t know a lot about this fancy crypto stuff. Heck, most of my money’s in comic books and baseball cards.
But what I do know is folks are sick and tired of Big Brother spying on their every move, so this week the House did something about it. It took a bit of time, including a late-night agreement with President Trump, but we passed legislation that will keep crypto transactions private like cash.
Don’t get me wrong, I know our leaders want to double down on our strength in this area—but we’ve got to be smart about it and promote the freedom this nation was founded on.
Whether you’re paying your nephew 20 bucks to mow the lawn or buying a vintage car, it’s none of the federal government’s business how you use your money, and that was my biggest concern in all this. Tracking every single crypto transaction has nothing to do with national security—it’s plain old overreach.
The Left wants to know your every move and track every dadgum dollar you make, just to turn around and take it from you on April 15. But maybe it goes even deeper than that. Sometimes I think bureaucrats want so much red tape so the little guy doesn’t even have a chance to dabble in something like crypto. It’s just another way to hold everyday Americans down—and I won’t allow it.
We need more capitalism, not more control.
We need more innovation, not more interference.
And above all, we need more leaders like President Trump who trust the American people to make their own decisions without Washington breathing down their necks.
Your hard-earned dollars shouldn’t have a tracking number on them, no matter the tax bracket you fall into. That’s the kind of country I’m fighting for here in Congress.
