On the recordJuly 9, 1997
the debate we are hearing these days about tax cuts for people who pay no taxes is worthy of a scene from Gilligan's Island. One can just imagine Gilligan complaining to the Skipper and asking him why he is not getting a tax cut. At this point the Skipper would have already taken off his cap and smacked Gilligan over the head and cried with exasperation, ``Gilligan, don't be ridiculous!'' Then the Skipper, in his usual condescending way, would try to explain to his slow ``Little Buddy'' that it is impossible to cut taxes for someone who pays no taxes. Gilligan would not need the Professor to explain to him the metaphysical impossibility of such a preposterous proposition, even though Gilligan lived in a fantasy land. All he would need is a good rap on the chest, a little common sense, and the advice, ``Gilligan, don't be ridiculous!''
