                    PRESIDENT RAISES TAXES TOO MUCH

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, the President has finally confirmed what 
Republicans have been saying all along--that he raised taxes too much. 
While speaking in Houston at a fundraiser he stated that a lot of 
people think ``I raised their taxes too much. It might surprise you to 
know that I think I raised them too much too.''
  Republicans promised tax cuts last year and this week we plan to vote 
on a budget package that will include a tax cut totaling $245 billion 
dollars.
  We are offering a $500-per-child tax credit which will eliminate 
taxes for families making less than $25,000. We reduce capital gains 
taxes by 50 percent. We reduce the tax burden on our Nations seniors by 
repealing the 1993 Clinton tax increase over the next 7 years.
  Everyday it is more clear that Republicans want to lead this Nation 
into the next century, while the President and Democrats can only offer 
rhetoric, scare tactics, and flip-flops.
