On the recordOctober 20, 1992
I'm sorry. They are the 49th in students with high school diploma. They are 45th in the overall well-being of children; and in incomes, in jobs, and in wages, they lag the entire Nation. We do not need that for the United States of America. You know, let me tell you what he said last night in case you didn't hear it. He said, ``I want to do for the United States what I've done for Arkansas.'' We can't let that happen. No way. Ross Perot was right on one thing. He said the grocery store is no preparation for Wal-Mart. I thought that was a good line. But here's the dangerous part: Governor Clinton wants to raise your taxes by $150 billion and increase spending by $220 billion. We're not going to let him do that. I don't know how many people standing around here make over $200,000, but I'll guarantee you one thing: His figures don't add up. And to get that $150 billion, he's going to have to go after your wallet. So when he says ``tax the rich,'' you taxpayers, you hard workers, you people that believe in the American dream, watch out. It will turn into a nightmare. I've got a different philosophy. I believe the Federal Government is too big, and it spends too much. He wants to see it spend more and tax more. We've been caught up in something global. The global economy has slowed down. Though it hurts when anyone is out of work, I think it's fair to note that the American economy, in spite of our problems, is still a lot better than all the European economies or Japan or Canada. We are the United States, and I want to make it better, not worse. I want to expand our exports so our textile products and our other products made in this great State can find free and fair markets all around the world. We are leading in exports; let's keep it up.
