Clinton: Raise taxes to pay for Katrina
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- President Bill Clinton called for a repeal of upper-income tax cuts, saying America should not stick its grandchildren with the bill for Hurricane Katrina.
In an appearance on NBC's "Today Show," Clinton said it would be "crazy" to maintain the cuts in the face of the massive spending that will be needed. He said President Bush's plan to borrow means future generations and the poor around the world will have to pay "to cover our self-indulgence."
Asked if he believed racism or discrimination against the poor influenced the response to Katrina, Clinton said he did not think there was any conscious discrimination. But he suggested some officials may not have been "attuned" to the realities of life for the poor and members of racial minorities.
"A lot of people had no place to go and no way to get there," he said.
Clinton and President George H.W. Bush are co-chairs of a relief fund to channel contributions to the organizations that need it most.
President Bush has promised not to raise taxes or repeal any of his tax cuts, maintaining that the cuts stimulate the economy.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn
