Ihe firmest principle held by * Harry Byrd Sr., the Gibraltar of * Virginia conservatism, was that a ’ government should never go into “ debt. Allen’s “conservative” leaders, « Reagan and Bush, have put us $3 ' trillion deeper in debt ($12,000 for * every man, woman and child in America), made life high and taxes low for the rich and taxes high and life as hard as possible for working men and women, unopposed by a Congress scared to death that they might lose their soft jobs (and wonderful benefits) if they buck the president.
Allen’s promise can only mean that he will go to Washington and ; rubber-stamp the Reagan-Bush program of making the rich richer and the poor poorer and continuing to * cut back on every public service that helps make life good for Americans. He does not promise to fight the real ; mess in Washington.
We should elect our own Kay Slaughter, who understands the problems facing working Virginians , as a rich kid from California like George Allen never will. She will work hard to get government off our >. backs and on our side. £ AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON 2 Syria
