Democrats Unveil New 'Safer' Tax Cut Plan WASHINGTON, DC - With the 'risky' Republican tax cut scheme fading into history, the Democrats have revealed their plan for a new 'Safer Tax'. "We all know that it is not safe to give the American people back any of their money," said House Minority Leader, Dick Gephardt. "That is why we are offering a bill that would implement the safest tax system known to man." The new 'Safer Tax' proposed by the Democrats would tax all Americans at 100%. All money would then be brought to Washington and redistributed to the American people on a 'needs only basis'. A new Government agency called the 'Central Economic Department' (CED) will be created to help distribute the money. The CED will employ an army of 'Monetary Needs Assessors" (MNA) who will be given the job of determining the financial needs of those Americans they are assigned to oversee. Each American will be required to meet with their MNA on a weekly basis in order to prove their financial needs. Once the MNA determines a person's financial need, then the MNA will issue a new form of currency that will be redeemable for goods and services. GOP leaders have already condemned the new 'Safer Tax' proposal. Said Congressman Chris Cox, "Their proposal is nothing more than pure unadulterated Communism!" Responding to Cox's condemnation of the 'Safer Tax', Congresswoman Maxine Waters exclaimed, "Men like Cox are only concerned with protecting their rich business buddies. That is why they continue to risk the safety of the American economy by trying to give people their money back. This type of recklessness has got to stop. That is why I am supporting the new 'Safer Tax'" A coalition of Conservative Democrats are preparing to submit an alternative tax scheme. Dubbed "Safer Tax and Investment Scheme", the government will also assign an Investment Needs Assessment (also called a CTA) agent to 5000 of the neediest unemployed. Each client will trade S&P futures for a living with added stipulation to buy when the S&P closes 10 percent off its high.
