Kasich's plan to give a $340 billion tax cut to the rich and super-rich. But since Sen. Pete V. Domenici, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, opposes such a tax cut, and President Clinton would surely veto it, I don't worry about this most outrageous proposition. Many Americans are being suckered into believing that Kasich & Co. are merely undoing some weird and costly programs of Lyndon B. Johnson and his Great Society "social engineers." They don't seem to know that federal funds have made this a far more educated society than it was 30 years ago, and that this has made America more secure militarily and competitive economically.
