What may have been a major issue in the 1980 election might not even concern voters in 2000.

Economic issues are continually changing with the times. Each election develops its own

upcoming 2000 presidential election hold different opinions on three major economic issues: tax

reform, health care, and free trade/immigration.

One of the most important issues of the 2000 presidential election is tax reform. This

topic, possibly more than any other issue in the election, reflects the greatest disparity among

candidates of the same party. Among the Democrats, Bill Bradley and Al Gore have contrasting

ideas concerning tax reform. Perhaps the most educated candidate on this issue, Bradley is a

former member of the Senate Finance Committee and one of the major contributors to the 1986

overhaul of the tax code. Bradley's position, made known in numerous debates, is that he is

strongly against large tax cuts. The former senator believes that while the economy is doing well,

the government should utilize tax revenues to improve schools,
