Well, you liberals all have been telling us how your government welfare programs were "going to save us a bunch of money" too.... And it took a common sense moderate/conservative perspective to turn your failed program into something that actually empowers people and puts them back in the workforce.... It's called Workfare... and Clinton veto'd it TWICE until Dick Morris warned him he would lose the 1996 election unless he passed it. If government actually invested in this economy, rather than sucked money out of it, you might have an argument. But we know that's not what they do. So it's better for some of the surplus to be given back to those who actually pay the taxes so they can put it to work in investments that provide jobs and economic growth. It just a difference of opinions between having a decentralized economy and a centralized one. The rest of the world has seen how poorly a centralized economy has performed against our own. Look at Europe for your example of what Gore will bring to the US.
