On the recordMarch 22, 1994
spring is here. Soon the leaves will be on the trees, baseball will be on the field, and taxes will be on our minds. Yes, April 15 is coming quickly, and for many people that means higher taxes. Thanks to the Clinton budget, we can all expect to pay more in taxes to support more of the President's social welfare programs. Is it not interesting that the First Family has spent so much time trying not to pay their own taxes? From underwear deductions to underreported tax returns, the Clintons have a history of tax avoidance. We all know the Clintons have what it takes to take what you've got, but apparently they also have what it takes to keep what they have got. I urge the American people to think about the First Family when they pay their taxes this April 15. Bill Clinton is very good at raising taxes, but he is not so good at paying them.
