To paraphrase Clinton, it all depends on what your definition of 'income
earner' is.

Yes, speaking of LIES.

Name any lie clinton told---and what relevancy it had to do with
either a civil suit or government

* On Sept. 8,1992, Bill Clinton: "The only people who will pay more
income taxes are the wealthiest 2 percent, those living in
households making over $200,000 a year."

In response to a Bush-Quayle ad that people with incomes of as
little as $36,000 would see a tax increase under the Clinton plan,
Bill Clinton said, Oct. 1, 1992, "It's a disgrace to the American
people that the President (Bush) of the United States would make a
claim that is so baseless, that is so without foundation, so
shameless in its attempt to get votes under false pretenses."

Yet the NY TIMES in the analysis of Clinton's budget wrote, "There
are tax increases for every family making more than $20,000 a year!"

While Clinton continued to defend his middle-class tax cut publicly,
he privately expressed the view to his advisers that it was
intellectually dishonest." (The Agenda, by Bob Woodward, p. 31)

* Bill Clinton said that the new gasoline tax (4 cent per gallon)
would go to a deficit reduction trust fund. No such fund has been
established to date...

* Feb. 10, 1993, "The deficit of this country is about $50 billion
a year bigger than I was told it was going to be before the
election." --Bill Clinton, after "discovering" that the deficit was
$110 Billion LESS than he had claimed in July.

* Bill Clinton, explaining his policies for balancing the budget
..."And I give you my word to do it without the blame game of the
last twelve years of Reagan and Bush."

Oops...within 24 hours he was on television saying "I can't do it."
Went on for the next 20 minutes explaining why it was Bush's fault
that he couldn't succeed in balancing the budget.

24 hours. Usually, he undid himself within the same sentence.
Something of a record.

There are more. But you have the same resources I do. Do your own
work, if you're really interested in the truth.
