April 21 I sent Congress a message asking for a package of major tax
reforms, including both the closing of loopholes and the removal of
more than 2 million low-income taxpayers from the tax roles
entirely. I am glad Congress is acting now on tax reform; I hope
it acts soon on the other reforms as well.
The purpose of these reforms is to eliminate unfairness;
to make government more effective as well as more efficient; and
to bring an end to its chronic failure to deliver the service that it
promises.
My purpose tonight, however, is not to review the past record,
but to present a new set of reforms - - a new set of proposals - - a new
and drastically different approach to the way in which government cares
for those in need, and to the way the responsibilities are shared between
the State and Federal governments.
I have chosen to do so in a direct report to the people because
these proposals call for public decisions of the first importance;
because they represent a fundamental change in the nation's approach
to one of its most pressing social problems; and because, quite
deliberately, they also represent the first major reversal of the trend
toward ever more centralization that has marked this past third of a
century.
