Abstract:

By repeating the failed tax-and-spend policies of Jimmy Carter and George Bush, Bill Clinton is endangering the economy's recent resurgence. Higher taxes will not encourage businesses to create jobs; higher taxes will not encourage individuals to save and invest more; higher taxes will not promote fiscal restraint on Capitol Hill; and higher taxes will not increase America's tinternational competitiveness.
