| <em>"The era of big government may be over, but the era of regulation through | |
| litigation has just begun." -Robert Reich, former Clinton Labor Secretary (USA Today, | |
| Feb. 11).<br> | |
| <br> | |
| Taxpayer activists had been emboldened by recent victories: a federally balanced budget, | |
| state and federal surpluses and supermajority requirements to raise taxes in the 14 | |
| states. The remaining states and the federal government still need to pass such | |
| legislation before declaring victory. However, before that could happen big government and | |
| its most powerful ally, trial attorneys, discovered a new fountain of money-litigated | |
| taxation! Given the Reich statement and recent successes by anti-tax activists it should | |
| come as no surprise to see President Bill Clinton and Vice President Albert Gore step up | |
| their attacks on corporate America. This administration has been very busy ensuring | |
| that taxes are to be forced upon consumers by litigation, rather than a vote of the | |
