...this year's campaign issues of V-chips, education tax breaks, and cellular phones for neighborhood watch groups can also be seen as the articulation of a different vision of government than that which we have come to expect from the overheated debates in Washington. It is a vision of government that neither solves problems for people nor leaves them alone to fend for themselves. Rather, Bill Clinton's winning vision is one that gives people the means to fix their own problems...
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 for American community to create equal opportunities for advancement.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: With the spending portion of the balanced budget deal finished business in both houses of Congress, the House is set to venture back onto politically uncertain ground tonight with a vote to slash taxes over the next five years by $85 billion and tie the knot on the plan to balance the budget for the first time in 30 years.

He cited examples of R.N.C. intervention to underline his "concern that separation between [the Forum] and R.N.C. is a fiction." A Barbour associate told TIME that...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Senate Finance Committee approved a broad sweeping tax bill, including a 20 cent hike in cigarette taxes to finance health insurance for poor children. The bill, which aims to produce a net tax cut of $85 billion over five years, will go to the Senate floor next week. Other provisions of the bill retained the $500-per-child tax credit and some $32 billion in education tax incentives. But even though the bill is much more Clinton-friendly than the harsher House version, it is likely to face opposition from the Administration for not providing enough tax...
