It's a verb which means to undertake, so let me welcome my fellow undertakers. So began Republican vice-presidential nominee Jack Kemp in his speech to a packed gymnasium at the University of New Haven in West Haven. Bus loads of students arrived to welcome the Grand Old Party candidate as he discussed the impact of the Dole-Kemp economic plan. Kemp at UNH Debate over America's failing welfare system and ailing economy has sparked the rhetoric of the current presidential campaign. In an hour-long speech, Kemp articulated his party's economic plan by addressing such issues as the decline in median family income, capital and labor relations, and a 17 percent increase from two years ago in the number of workers forced to take on two jobs.
Capitalism is based on family.
I'll tell you what bothers me. It bothers me that we have laws and legislation and restrictions and a tax code that prevent people from getting out of poverty and getting rich. Weaving a web of tales that included minority success stories and the even the story of his own humble beginnings, Kemp set the stage for his economic plan, which calls for a 50 percent capital gains tax cut and a 15 percent tax cut across the board on labor and capital. Black-owned businesses went up by 50 percent when we cut the tax rates on capital and labor in the early '80s. Cut the rate across the board.
