Well, now that the President has raised everyone else's taxes, we discovered that he had not paid all of his own. Worse yet, President Clinton's health care plan will be the single-largest tax increase in the history of the world. It seems like the President never met a tax he did not like except his own. Mr. President, I believe I am speaking for the millions of hardworking American taxpayers when I say that we expect our President to pay his full and fair share of taxes, and to pay them on time.
