“The sun is rising this morning in America and shining on many happy faces. Taxpayers are celebrating because conservatives in Congress and President Clinton have agreed on plans to simultaneously balance the budget for the first time in more than 30 years while providing tax cuts for the first time in 16 years. Liberals however have woken up and are crying boohoo. Liberals are aghast at the prospects of the Federal Government balancing its budget and reducing spending. Liberals are horrified by the Federal Government simultaneously letting taxpayers keep more of the money that they earn. Oh, the horror, the horror. Tax cuts equal more freedom for individual hard-working American taxpayers and less power for the Federal Government in Washington. No wonder liberals are crying boohoo.”
