Lever, it doesn t take a genius lee that we have more than share of problems. Congress I its irresponsible actions is i major problem. The Umbent congressman from !hington's Third District is definitely a part of that blare. He has consistently ed for higher taxes, ttionary programs, and more more federal control.

And the same is m. government. Especially In government! And And he sure as heck can't solve it! "The average guy on the street knows that a business can't spend more than it earns and expect to survive. He knows that his government isn't really any different. Everybody seems to know that except Congress - and our own so-called re presentative ! "I have also learned firsthand the strengths of the profit motive. My employes are paid well. But, more importantly, they share in an aggressive bonus system. And I want to tell you that the real growth of my business is a tribute to their innovative ideas and their motivation. "But contrast that, if you will, with the attitudes of our government. If the guy next door figures out a way to earn an extra buck, it seems that Congress immediately dedicates itself to the task of figuring out how to tax it away from him. A major oil company embarked on a national advertising program where they solicited ideas for the solution of the energy shortage. However, their advertisements denied the inventors of any such solutions the right to share monetarily in the fruits of their creativity. It isn't surprising that their campaign generated no worthwhile iaea! "But, be assured that this is one of the most basic attitudes that will go to Congress with me. The real strength of America is its ability to create. To innovate. Just think where we can go, what we might achieve, if we start providing some real incentives, some real tax cuts for everybody - and particularly for those who want to solve the problems. "But the mere fact that there is no real, responsible representation of the people in this district - and the fact that there is a very real opportunity to be of service - neither of these facts explains my total motivations in seeking this office. "A total answer for the why I tam doing this would have to include a recognition of my gratitude to this country for the freedoms that I do have, for the opportunities that I have enjoyed. I believe quite strongly that a person - particularly one who has enjgyed any degree of success - has a strong obligation to serve his country. "Just as man may accept a responsibility to provide one-tenth of his income to support the church of his choice, I also believe that a man has a responsibility to his nation. "And I pledge, solemnly, to you that I shall dedicate myself to the task of putting government into proper perspective. I shall work for the day that the cost of government is less than the cost of our churches."
