Dole & Forbes

NPR's Elizabeth Arnold reports that GOP presidential candidate and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole met today on Capitol Hill with billionaire Steve Forbes to talk about taxes. Dole says he plans to make a proposal soon on reforming the current tax system, but he said he has yet to work out the details. Forbes' campaign against Dole in the GOP presidential primaries centered on replacing the current tax system with a seventeen percent flat tax.
