if a politician says that he wants to cut taxes, it would really help his case if the tax cuts would actually reduce the tax burden. President Clinton says he wants to cut taxes, but if you seriously look at his proposals, you will see not a tax cut, but voila, a tax increase. A report released this week by the Joint Committee on Taxation shows that Bill Clinton's tax proposals will increase taxes $64 billion. Bill Clinton's bridge to the 21st century is evidently paved with the hard-earned tax dollars of the American family. Bill Clinton and the liberal Democrats have absolutely no intention of cutting taxes on any American family. Despite all the fancy terminology and all the sweet sounding words, Democrats remain the tax-and-spend liberals they have always been. Nothing has changed; they love big government. And the liberals claim that they want to cut your taxes in order to continue robbing the people of America to feather their nests here in Washington. This report proves it. Shame on you liberal Democrats.
