Third, conservatives need a positive agenda. We can't just oppose liberalism, we have to create a viable alternative. A number of conservative leaders in Congress are doing just that. They know, for example, that they cannot simply criticize the Clinton administration's national health care plan-they have to introduce their own reforms. Fourth, conservatives must remember that it is easier to achieve big rather than little reforms.
Most people tend to think that the best way to accomplish a task is to take one step at a time.
But politics doesn't always work that way. Now is the time to leap. They are willing to support reforms that would have been unthinkable a short time ago. The Kemp-Roth tax plan was dismissed as unrealistic when it was introduced in the 1970s, but in the 1980s the Reagan administration relied on it to cut taxes by 30 percent. Fifth, conservatives must make arguments that go beyond economics.
