Gore’s Tax Cuts Would Leave Out 50 Million People Despite his protests to the contrary, a CNN report confirmed that Al Gore’s economic plan would consist of the largest spending increases since LBJ’s “Great Society,” and Gore’s tax plan would deny tax relief to 50 million American taxpayers. CNN, Brooks Jackson, 10/18/00 And who was right when they feuded over Gore's spending plans? Jim Lehrer, Debate Moderator: Vice President Gore, is the governor right when he says that you're proposing the largest federal spending in years? Gore: Absolutely not, absolutely not. I'm so glad that I have a chance to knock that down. Jackson: But in fact, Gore is proposing hundreds of billions in added spending, far more than Bush. And the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Budget says: Gore's proposals, quote: "would produce the largest spending increases since LBJ and the Great Society." Bush: Fifty million Americans get no tax relief under his plan. Gore: That's not right. Jackson: In fact, Gore does put strict income limits on who could benefit from most of his tax cuts. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says, in light of that, quote: "It is reasonable to conclude that 50 million people could fail to qualify."
