Among Bush's policy proposals were promises to reduce marginal tax rates, allow Americans to invest their Social Security taxes and add ''a touch of iron'' to the U.S. military. He leveled one attack against President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, saying ''they did not invent prosperity'' in America. His top goals: -''Draw a moral line'' and encourage personal responsibility from Americans. -Get faith-based organizations and such as churches involved in easing social problems. -Improve schools so that ''no child will be left behind.'' In his centerpiece address at a country barbecue, Bush promised to end ''this season of cynicism'' in American politics. Republicans can be conservative without being mean, he said, offering these prescriptions: -Cut taxes, but help people save and make more money. -Cut welfare rolls, but ''confront the suffering that remains.'' -Retain local control of schools, but ''make sure that no single child gets left behind.'' ''I know that this approach has been criticized, but why? Is compassion beneath us? Is mercy below us? Should our party be led by someone who boasts of a hard heart?'' Bush said.
