                       A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

  (Mr. CHRYSLER asked and given permission to address theHouse for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHRYSLER. Mr. Speaker, some say that it is tough for normal, 
hard-working Americans to tell one political party from another. 
However, if you are out there looking to hang your hat on a defining 
issue separating the two major parties, look no further than taxes.
  The Democrats' view of the economy could be summed up in a few short 
phrases, according to Ronald Reagan: If it moves, tax it; if it keeps 
moving, regulate it; and if it stops moving, subsidize it.
  We believe that we need less Government and lower taxes. We need to 
let people keep more of what they earn and save, and we need to let 
people make their own decisions how they spend their money, not the 
Government.
  Keep this in mind when you examine President Clinton's latest tax 
proposal: Initially it appears to be Republican, but upon closer 
examination, the tax cuts are temporary, while the tax increases are 
permanent, totaling $63 billion.
  Mr. Speaker, I think we all remember that story about the wolf in 
sheep's clothing.
