Chapter Fifty-Nine
"I don't know how these tax cuts Buckley was talking about in the campaign can be implemented without hurting low-earning Americans. Fact of the matter is, a tax cut is not going to help someone who has barely enough to feed his family regardless of what he gives in taxes."
-Tip O'Neill (1981)
"So Martin Anderson was talking about overhauling the civil service, about a massive reduction in federal employment. Is that the best direction to get a tax cut passed?"
"Well, that depends on what he plans to do with the civil service once he cuts the budget-once he cuts the amount of administrators and the like. He's going to have to lower regulatory standards, or else it just won't work."
-Pat Buchanan and Bill Simon (1981)
"Buckley better know what he's doing here, cause these people have had to be doing something for the government to hire them."
-Dallas resident (1981)
