Tomorrow is Friday, April 15, tax day. People are asking themselves, 'What am I getting for my hard earned money?' It is probably more instructive to study what Americans are not getting. They are not getting good Government. They are not getting a balanced budget that is a fact--a sad fact. They are not getting an honest accounting of the tremendous waste, but they are getting higher taxes. Despite the rhetoric, it is not just the rich who will pay more: Taxpayers earning less than $30,000 are paying about one-third of the gas tax increase. And seniors with incomes of just $34,000 are due for a sizable increase in Social Security taxes. April 15 is the day the truth starts to come out about the Clinton administration 1993 tax hikes: Everyone pays more. Congress is heading out of town for that day of reckoning. But there is no hiding. Election day is coming November 8 just as surely as April 15.
