VARIOUS TOPICS: Talking Points - 10/8/92 Clinton-Gore '92: Bold New Generation of Leaders National Talking Points Thursday, October 8 Tonight, the GOP holds fat cats fundraisers nationwide, The theme is "S.O.S." --"Same Old Stuff." They'll be throwing a feel good celebration for themselves, when most of America feels they've put us on the wrong track. Look at their legacy of trickle down: jobless families, jobs sent overseas, bankrupt small businesses, looting of the public treasury by S&L swindlers, swollen deficits & bloated government, tax laws rigged against average Americans, Presidential advisors moonlighting as lobbyists for special interests, the cynical, privileged few who bent the rules to make a fast buck, the few who took from the middle class taxpayers to pay for their excess. Their crowd only took care of their own, forgot the little guy and left our government a wreck. They'll take no responsibility for their failures, and they'll drag out old scapegoats and silly distractions to try and fool the American people one more time. But we won't buy this year. Four years ago, George Bush promised to be the "kinder, gentler" President. The "Read My Lips" President. The "Education" President. The "Environmental" President. George Bush never lived up to his own labels. It's time for him to go. Our economy is weak because we need to change course. Bill Clinton and Al Gore are a new generation of leaders, a bold team with a new National Economic Strategy which today over 550 economists from all over the country--including nine nobel prize winners--will endorse. Clinton and Gore know our economy won't get stronger by following the old Washington way. Clinton and Gore are a new generation of leaders who have called for an end of welfare as we know it, so welfare can be a second chance, not a way of life. Clinton and Gore reject the old tax and spend politics, proposing instead a plan to invest in people, create new jobs, all while outlining $140 billion in spending cuts they'd make right now. According to a Bipartisan Panel, the Clinton-Gore plan controls health care costs. Bush's plan does not. The Panel said the C/G plan will save us $750 billion by the year 2000. But Bush's plan, would save only $150 billion because he won't take on the drug companies or the bloated bureaucracies. Unlike the 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. Authorized by Clinton/Gore '92 Committee Box 615, Little Rock, AR 72203.
