The Clinton’s and Tax Cuts for the Middle Class

On Jan. 19, 1992 Bill Clinton said,

“I want to make it very clear that this middle-class tax cut, in my view, is central to any attempt we’re going to make to have a short-term economic strategy.”

On Jan. 14, 1993 at a press conference, Bill Clinton said,

“From New Hampshire forward, for reasons that absolutely mystified me, the press thought the most important issue in the race was the middle-class tax cut. I never did meet any voter who thought that.”

Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign was the last time he ever talked about a middle class tax cut. Ever. I notice now that Hillary Clinton is promising a middle class tax cut. Two possibilities: 1) she means to make good on her husband’s broken promise, or 2) she’s merely borrowing his strategy.
