Tax cuts are needed. Last year, Pres. Clinton vetoed marriage tax penalty relief and the death tax elimination. President Bush would have signed those bills. He will get that chance this year.
Education reform is needed.
States and school boards need more flexibility, and that is a critical part of the Bush plan. I've heard that some of the groups opposing Ashcroft might be in violation of their tax-free status due to their extensive lobbying and advertising against him. There is a difference between advocacy and education. I hope that the IRS investigates those groups considering their extensive activities against Ashcroft. Thank-you for submitting so many good questions.
