“the 1994 baseball season is hardly a week old and already the best screwball pitch of the year has been thrown in baseball stadiums across the country. The Democrat Party's National Campaign Committee has staged a demonstration of what they believe to be tax equity, arguing that the President's 1993 tax increase only affects 1 percent of the American people. Once again, the Democrat National Campaign Committee has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted with either words or numbers, and now our national pastime of baseball. They forgot to mention all of us across the board in the country paying higher taxes on gasoline. They forgot to mention the truck driver stuck in Omaha, NE, who cannot deduct his lunch while he is out on the road. They forgot to mention the millions of senior citizens who will pay higher income taxes under their bill. What they thought they were doing was hitting a home run for increased taxes. And what they did was hit a foul ball into left field. And, even the Democrat cannot steal home on a foul ball.”
