Clinton raised taxes with NO Republican support, with whines from
Republicans that by 1996, the Dow would be under 1,000. Instead,
revenues when up, and the economy started the biggest boom in its

tax hike in the history of mankind".
Sure made a shambles of what is laughingly called "Republican economic
theory."
