 For People for a Change: Clinton-Gore '92
 National Talking Points
 Wednesday, October 7

 Our economy is off-course and weak.  We need to change course for the
 future.  All Bush offers is more of the same old, tired, failed
 politics as usual.  Clinton and Gore have a new National Economic
 Strategy.

 Bush is asking for four more years of a do-nothing presidency.  He
 let foreign corporations take U.S. tax dollars to ship our jobs
 overseas and sat back as middle incomes in America declined.  And he
 remains more interested in foreign interests than our people here at
 home.

 The only thing Bush stands for is his own reelection.  And he's
 willing to try anything if he thinks it will work, from pretending to
 be Harry Truman, to attacking Bill Clinton's wife, to turning his
 convention over to the far right wing fringe, to lying and trying to
 fool us again.

 Bush wants to talk about anything but America.  But this year, people
 want answers about what is happening to their lives, not more talk
 about what happened to a 22 year old 23 years ago.

 Bush's campaign has no respect for the truth.  Bush wants you to
 forget that he signed the second biggest tax increase in history,
 that he raised taxes on the middle class to pay for tax cuts for the
 rich.  And he doesn't want you to know that Arkansas taxes are the
 second lowest in the country and that Clinton knows the middle class
 deserves a break after all these years of Bush.

 From Republican CEOs to Perot's own economic adviser, John White,
 Bill Clinton and Al Gore  are attracting bipartisan support for their
 National Economic Strategy.  Says White, "the Clinton- Gore ticket
 holds the most promise for us as a country... a future of good jobs
 and long term fiscal strength."

 Bush says stay the course, but we can't make our economy stronger
 without long term growth and we can't get our economy moving in the
 short term without immediate incentives for businesses to invest and
 grow and create new jobs -- that's the heart of the Clinton-Gore
 plan.

 According to the Bipartisan Panel, the Clinton-Gore plan controls
 health care costs.  Bush's plan does not.  The C/G plan will save the
 U.S. economy $750 billion by the year 2000.  Bush's plan only $150
 billion because Bush won't take on the drug companies or the bloated
 bureaucracies.

 Unlike members of the Bush administration, Bill Clinton didn't get
 into public service for money.  As Governor, he makes only $35,000 a
 year, and since becoming Governor in 1979, he has never had a raise,
 making his salary the lowest of any Governor in America.

 Unlike Bush and Quayle, Bill Clinton was no trust fund baby.  His
 father died before he was born.  His mother worked while he was
 raised by his grandparents in a small town.  And after school, he
 didn't go to Wall Street to make a fortune; he returned to Arkansas
 to help the people he knew at home.  That's why Bush is for the
 privileged few and why Clinton puts people first.
