It is hard for me to understand how the Clintons believe in higher taxes and the "your time has come and gone" attitude toward business while they line their pockets with $$$ from book deals, speeches and pardon selling, etc. We can see how Clinton lied before the 1992 election and how he was able to convince the populace of the economy going south. I believe the only reason he won in 1996 was b/c he did not have a strong enough republican challenger. Further proof that the democrats will lie and deceive the American people to get what they want.

Bill Clinton won in 92 for two reasons:

1) GHWB did not want to be president anymore but did not want to make a LBJ-like speech, thereby leaving his heart out of the campaign, and

2) Ross Perot

This is a great article from a great magazine, The American Enterprise. However, the frequently quoted example about all the new jobs coming from small business establishments is misleading. These statistics include new establishments of large corporations as well as small businesses. For example, if Fortune 100 corporation X opens a new branch sales office in Des Moines where 50 people work, that is counted. Much of the employment of large corporations is in relatively small offices, with large facilities being limited to perhaps a few manufacturing plants and the corporate headquarters.

If my memory serves me,I believe that"HitLery"(when informed that many small-businesses couldn't afford to provide their employees with"HitLery Health-Care")replied "I'm Not Responsible For Under-Capitalized Businesses"Apparently,Mr.&Mrs"BeelzeBubba"are not responsible for ANYTHING!!Lying Under Oath,Obstructing Justice etc.etc...And to top it,after declaring that"The Era of Greed"(Ours)Is Over",I guess that theirs is just getting going!!!!!!!!!!!!

Piling on was Robert Reich, straight from Harvard, tapped to be Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor. Charged with maximizing jobs for “labor,” Reich looked at the nation's millions of successful entrepreneurs and small business owners, the people who create most of America's jobs, and proclaimed that their time had, as his boss had said, “come and gone.” In Reich's Ivy League version of reality, “the American myth of the Triumphant Individual may have outlasted its time.” Plugged into the First Lady's collectivist paradigm, Reich declared that “success can be measured only in reference to collective results.” He warned against an economy that relies too much on individualistic endeavor, explaining that the “investments of wealthier Americans no longer trickle down to the rest of the American people.” These were strange words to the ears of America's entrepreneurs and small business owners, a truly foreign philosophy—anti-individualistic, anti-capitalist, anti-rich, anti-investment, anti-growth, anti-freedom

He'll fit right into Taxuschewshits!

"It was effective because the typical news consumer didn't realize what was going on."

Typical of the Vast Kneepad Conspiracy; blame the "stupid" rabble. Well, the rabble aren't stupid. We can see what the Vast Kneepad Conspiracy is trying to do to W.
