Truth-squadding the wild claims of Clinton, Gore & Co. has proved too much for the Dole campaign. Clinton and Gore both trumpeted in their nationally televised debates the canard that Dole's economic plan would raise taxes on 9 million Americans. Neither Dole nor Kemp rebutted the charge. In fact, it's off by 9 million. No one will get a tax hike. Dole's plan pares $ 19 billion from the earned income tax credit, and the welfare reform bill Clinton signed has already taken care of $ 3.2 billion of that. The rest wouldn't add to anyone's tax bill. It would merely trim the welfare payments given to those who don't pay any taxes.
