                        THE TAX DOUBLE STANDARD

  (Mr. EVERETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, tax day is fast approaching middle-class 
America. Yes; April 15 promises to be an unnatural disaster for many 
small businesses across the country.
  Small business owners must look at the first family with a mixture of 
envy and anger. Envy at how they may have avoided paying many taxes 
over the years, and anger at their decision to sock it to the middle 
class.
  According to their own admission, the Clintons may have underreported 
their tax liabilities in regards to the whole Whitewater affair.
  The Clintons have said that any mistakes on their taxes were 
unintentional and inadvertent. I imagine the IRS is full of those who 
claim that its all just a big misunderstanding.
  In any event, there is a double standard here. The White House loves 
taxes, just as long as they don't have to pay them.
