This was the question in 1996. A 15 percent tax cut that would give individuals greater autonomy from the government or a government that works with the American community to create equal opportunities for advancement. By no means a small question, the argument over individualism versus community has the potential to play an even greater role as we enter a world where technology both separates people from one another and concurrently demands they work in teams to succeed.

He wants more money for children and senior citizens and would force countries such as Germany, Japan and Korea to pay for their own defense in order to help fund social programs. As a judge, Sandlin says he can bring a problem-solving fair-mindedness to Washington...
