BUSH: 6,000 pack coliseum, cheer vow to deliver tax reform to eliminate "tollbooth" to prosperity Wednesday, November 1, 2000 By Harry Esteve of The Oregonian staff Texas Gov. George W. Bush pushed his plan for an across-the-board tax cut Tuesday, saying it would clear the way for working families in Oregon and elsewhere to move into the middle class. Speaking to more than 6,000 raucous supporters gathered in Memorial Coliseum, Bush ridiculed Al Gore's proposal for "targeted" tax relief, saying too many people would be left out. "Fifty million Americans miss the target," Bush said. "That's not our vision for America, folks." Looking relaxed and happy, and boasting about the size of the crowd, Bush focused on taxes only hours after the vice president delivered a speech a few miles away that dealt almost exclusively with the same issue. Bush said the tax code hits both the rich and the poor too hard and likened the system today to a "tollbooth on the road to the middle class" because the rates increase with income growth. "We're going to knock down that tollbooth," Bush said. For Bush, a Republican vying for votes in a state that has chosen Democrats in the past three presidential elections, the noisy rally served as a confidence booster as the clock begins to run down on one of the closest presidential contests ever. oregonlive.com
