here is a quote from the White House yesterday. ``But he''--meaning President Clinton--``will certainly acknowledge that tax relief, as he has been fighting for as President, is something that remains very important.'' Mr. Speaker, let me point out that Clinton is now in the fourth year of his Presidency. If he has been fighting for tax relief, why don't the taxpayers have it? Is it because in his first year as President, he pushed the largest tax increase in history on the backs of the American people? Is it because when a middle-class, family tax relief bill was laid on his desk, he vetoed it? Or is it because he didn't even start talking about tax cuts until Republicans became the majority in Congress? Mr. Speaker, all the above help point out that Bill Clinton is a say- anything, do-nothing liberal President. He claims to be for the people, but his actions show that his policies are higher taxes, bigger government, and more spending.
