Political Quotes

“if Americans are looking for a fair tax plan, they should be looking to the Democratic tax plan and not the Republican tax plan. The Republican tax plan in the second 5 years explodes the deficit. We just saw the figures from the Treasury which shows that in the last 5 years, there is a second 5 years, over 50 percent of the benefits go to people who are high income earners in this country. That is not a fair tax plan. What we have to do is deliver a tax plan that is fair to all Americans, that means people who are working as well. I also want to compliment President Clinton because yesterday he recognized and supported the notion of some sort of means testing for Medicare. I thought that this was a brave, bold move because we have to recognize that it is inevitable that in the years to come we are going to have to make some changes to Medicare. We should not have the hamburger flippers at McDonald's subsidizing those who have done very well. I think that this is a change that is going to come and it is best to be done through the IRS. It is best to be done in a worthwhile fair manner.”
