“the President is defending the indefensible. President Clinton yesterday described congressional Republican efforts to overhaul the Tax Code and to change our tax system into one that is more pro-family, one that encourages investment and savings, and one that moves the country in the direction of a fairer, flatter, simpler Tax Code, a fairer, flatter, simpler alternative to the system we have today, he described those plans now pending in Congress as reckless in remarks that the President made yesterday here in Washington to the National Mortgage Bankers Association. In fact, the President went on to say that our approach of phasing out the current income tax system and replacing the current 9,000 page, 5.5 million word Tax Code with a fairer, flatter, simpler alternative, he described that approach yesterday as 'misguided, reckless and irresponsible.' I read this entire article, and I have searched his remarks trying to find out what the President would propose.”
