| Sometimes it does seem we choose the lesser of evils or the one who most represents our values. We know Gore will go for big government, high taxes, way out environmental, inflation in many of the things we use to satisfy his environmental demands, inconsistent and unfair programs, inability to get anything done in government (maybe that is good) and thus gridlock, danger of his lack of veracity causing problems with our allies, congress and the people, etc.. We know Bush can unify and build consensus (Texas, Democrats and Republicans work together), We know his ego isn't so large. Therefore, he will pick the very best talent without concern they will upstage him. We know Bush is more straightforward. Also, he is proposing a tax cut, fairly distributed based on contributions, to all Americans. John F. Kennedy did it, Reagan did it and revenues actually increased. There seems to be a jealousy or envy thing with liberals wanting ever higher tax percentages from workers. Yet history has proven that lower percentages increase entrepreneurship and productivity therefore actually increasing revenues coming into government. Lower and fairer taxation can, and will, actually generate more money than a perceived confiscatory tax code. When you weigh the facts Bush looks better for the American people. |
