PRESIDENT BUSH TO RAISE GAS TAX
  Texans monday blasted proposals to sharply raise the federal tax on 
gasoline from the present 9.1 cents a gallon to 25 cents, or more.  (Note 
the OR MORE !)  Despite President Bush's "read my lips" vow against 
raising taxes, the president is considering the higher taxes for 1991 as 
a possible trade for such concessions as a lower capitol gains tax, 
Ofiicials said Monday.

Well, looks like Perot stole his gas tax idea from Lying George Bush!

WHITE HOUSE OFFERS BROAD-BASED TAX ON PETROLEUM
  Washington - Bush administration officials proposed a broad-based TAX 
on petroleum wednesday......

It was the first time the White House has endorsed an energy tax....
(Wrong.  See Post article above!)

Meanwhile, Administration Officials said that over 5 years, the levy 
would generate $7 billion for each 1 per cent tax applied at the 
refinery.  (No note in article at how many per cent they wanted, what 
ever this all means).

Geez!  Every time you looked around, Bush 'n' crew were trying to raise 
taxes.  And NOBODY seemed to notice!  Except me.  I have the clippings.  
Articles no one read but me apparently.

RED FLOOD OF INK BAD NEWS FOR NATION
Debt was much higher than was forecast

At least Willie has an excuse.  He has to clean up after Bush and the 
republicans.  Who was Bush Cleaning up after?



Pope Charles     SubGenius Pope Of Houston       Doesn't anybody REALLY 
read the papers anymore?
