                     REPEAL OBAMACARE AND CUT TAXES

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, President Obama says he now has serious 
ideas about taxes and job creation. I'd like to take him seriously, but 
the truth is that the President has spent the last 4\1/2\ years 
hammering the Nation's businesses with taxes, regulations, and 
ObamaCare. His business mandate has already forced many small 
businesses to convert full-time jobs to part-time jobs.
  And let's remember the jobs that have already dissipated due to the 
medical device companies that are reducing employees to pay a new 
ObamaCare excise tax. One company has already terminated more than 
1,000 workers.
  As for taxes, the President's fiscal cliff deal pushes taxes up to as 
much as 45 percent for many small business owners and investors. That 
simply diminishes their incentive to move forward with expansions that 
would create jobs.
  So Mr. President, if you'd really like this economy to get going, 
let's start by repealing ObamaCare and cutting taxes.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address all remarks 
to the Chair.
