JFK to Reagan to W. &#8211;tax cuts increase revenue. Always have; always will! (There\u2019s more money falling into the treasury now than anybody expected!) <\/p>\n<p>But let me tell you: this budget process is a <emphasize>huge<\/emphasize> political opportunity for conservatives, nevertheless. This is a three-trillion-dollar budget, but for Democrats,no &#8212; still not enough! They want to kill your tax cuts; they want totake more of your money so they can pour it down the black hole of Big Government. To produce what? Failed government health care? (Case in point: Walter Reed.) A failed public school system, despite record spending? Andwe just got a report this week that <emphasize>skrool<\/emphasize> cafeterias aren\u2019t even being inspected &#8211;in spite of all the billions that go to federal lunch programs! We got a report yesterday that a third of adults in Washington, DC are functionally illiterate (and we can\u2019t find out how many of them workfor the federal government)! <\/p>\n<p>Let me give you conservatives a little hint, here,on how to get back in the power seats: Get back to basics! Reaffirm the guiding principles of conservatism. And Principle No. 1 &#8211;limited government and freedom from oppressive taxes! It is <emphasize>time<\/emphasize> to go on offense!
