On the recordApril 12, 1994
according to news reports, the President and the First Lady paid back over $14 thousand in back taxes, interest, and penalties owed to the Federal Government since 1980. Apparently, during the so-called decade of greed, the Clintons were more greedy then they first admitted. It's appropriate that we learn of taxgate during tax week. All over the country, the American people are preparing their tax returns, and finding ways to pay the Clinton tax increases. Most Americans made their money the old-fashioned way, through hard work and dedication. Many small-business owners have scrimped and saved, cut costs, and layed off workers, all to pay for the President's higher taxes. And now we find the Clinton's themselves didn't pay all of their taxes on a suspicious commodities deal that netted them $100,000 during the decade of greed. The lesson here is simple: The President is very good at raising your taxes but forgot to pay his own.
