Didn't Nixon have a five-o'clock-shadow in that debate (which made him look

or selecting a first cut of a thousand envelopes, checking them for

Either way, your chance of grand prize is STILL one in a million if you

Subject:      Re: Natalies Q about Clinton's tax plan

From the New York Times, courtesy of Jim Thomas:
--------------------------jim's post follows------------------------
I believe the reference is to the question: "So there would be no tax
increases below $200,000?"

Clinton: "That's right. My plan, notwithstanding my opponent's ad, my
plan triggers in at gross incomes--family incomes of $200,000 and
above. Then we want to give modest middle-class tax relief to restore
some fairness, especially to middle-class people with families with
incomes of under $60,000. In addition to that, the money that I raise
from upper-income people and from asking foreign corporations just to
pay the same income on their income earned in America that American
corporations do will be used to give incentives back to upper-income
people."

One may disagree with the proposal, but it's hardly "sliming."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, what does "family incomes of $200,000 and above?" mean?  What
does "families with incomes of under $60,000" refer to?  Conceivably
he could raise taxes on all single people with incomes over $30,000
and on all married couples without children with incomes over
$33,800 or so without creating any perverse rate schedules, and he
could increase the per-child exemption and accomplish all of these
things.  As for the incentives to upper income people, I'm not sure
that taxing foreign corporations to pay for tax relief will raise
any money.  The foreign corporations might move operations to other
countries.

Understand that....and believe European situation is about the same....
but indeed the average in US now is about 1.25 per US gallon (128 oz.)
(about 3.8 liters).  Range that I have heard is about 1.10 to 1.40, all
quoted for regular unleaded, selfservice.  You can pay a LOT more in some
big cities downtown, or in the middle of nowhere, thouhg haven't seen it
over 1.50 very often in the west, even in West Cowflop.   You can also
pay a LOT more for fullservice....though most will give service for
noservice prices for handicapped who are unable to do it themselves.....
but of course some won't.

Not at all.  Anthony Lewis in the New York Times c. June 1992.  Maybe July.  He
*does* get a few of the facts wrong--or at least they are at odds with the
facts in the New Yorker piece (Oct. 5. 1992).  There it is said that he was
canned because he had expressed fears for his saftey.  The other nice tidbit
there is that it was and is the only time in history that the head of the
Federal Bureau of Prisons personally ordered someone placed in administrative
detention.

     It's a pretty big bomb.  I just don't think it is going to go off before
the election.

 >Just teasing. I never did see it.

  Well, I assumed you hadn't...

 >I am probably too <dense>, but I haven't a clue. Disorderly conduct?

  No, nothing disorderly, just refusing to do military service, or
rather, to do armed service. There was the possibility of doing service
outside the armed forces, but my application was turned down. Things
have changed since, and these days poeople pretty much have a free
choice.

  >Alright! Where do I sign up? When do we leave?

  Friday, 7:50 am, Arlanda airport. I'm afraid I can't help you get
there in time, though.
