We are ushering in personal and public responsibility &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Once again, Tom Bigler has decided for all what is fair and responsible -- &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; this time with respect to taxationAccording to Bigler, the irresponsible
Republicans have proposed tax reductions, and intended to deceive the American
people into believing they can have something for nothing. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Tom Bigler confuses me. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Why is the concept of "something for nothing" not good for taxpayers, when
it is (in his view) entirely appropriate for chronic welfare abusers and
illegal immigrants? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 If it is okay to endlessly outspend government revenues for give-away
social programs, then why is it not equally okay to reduce taxes for stressed
taxpayers? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 My hope is that our new leadership in Washington will do what it promised:
lower and redistribute taxes and balance the budget while retaining an
adequate social "safety net." Impossible? I don't think so. The solution lies
in dramatically reducing the size and role of government. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 A critical part of the process is expecting welfare recipients to make an
effort to society that is equal to or greater than the minimal effort demanded
by private-sector employment, with benefits reduced to a point equal to or
less than the minimum offered by private-sector employment. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Providing free benefits to illegal immigrants encourages more illegals to
come into this country. Give-away benefits to chronic welfare abusers causes
their number to swell. Why work for a living when you can have a better living
by not working? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Making people responsible means demanding something in return that is
commensurate with what is given. Making government responsible
