Washington Outlook: Capital Wrapup

TAXES

Business doesn't seem to have much faith in Clinton -- at least when it comes to taxes.

Q: Clinton says that if his tax proposals do not bring in enough revenue, he will either phase in his programs more slowly or cut other spending to free up the funds he wants. Do you believe him, or do you think he will increase taxes more than he said during the campaign?

Believe he'll slow down or cut other spending 23%

Think he will increase taxes 74%

Not sure 3%
