Taxes

Linda stopped by the hotel where the Ohio delegation is staying to talk with some of them about taxes. Senator Bob Dole's proposal for an across- the-board 15 percent tax cut is appealing to many voters. The Ohio delegates agree about its appeal, but say that the numbers don't add up, that the proposal ignores the continuing deficit problem. Some of them think Bill Clinton should not address tax cuts, despite their appeal to voters. Some of them would like to see him propose SOME tax cuts, specifically targeted to the middle class, working families, children going to college. They call these types of cuts "meaningful" and "productive".
