Mr. Vice President, you spoke during the campaign about your desire to eradicate bigotry, yet you campaigned hardly at all in black neighborhoods and didn't receive very many black votes. But this one was a bit unusual because this one featured that symbol of conspicuous consumption, actress Cher. Bush's no new taxes position seems to mean that taxes would go up only if there were an economic crisis. That drastically limits the flexibility any government should have.
