Scott And Nixon Agree
Senator Scott and the
President agree on such high
priority measures as welfare
reform, transit subsidies, rural
development and
anti-pollution.
Mr. Scott opposes busing
with the single objective of
achieving racial balance
because he regards it as
arbitrary and unjust, and he
claims that it makes children
overly aware of percentage
quotas in racial distribution. It
is his contention that America
should focus rather or quality
education.
Equally vocal in his claims
that Democrats consistently
try to stir up farmers, the
Senator remarked, "I never saw
a happy farmer because he was
always grumbling that the big
corporations or the middleman
or someone else was getting
more money than he was."
Mr. Scott views the sharing
of Federal revenue with State
and local governments or a
value added tax as possible
means of reducing the burden
of property tax on the
homeowner.
Advocating an increase in
the amount of assured health
care the Senator nevertheless
does not want the Federal
government to take over the
entire system of health
provisions. In his opinion,
employers should be required
to provide minimum health
care packages to all employees.
In addition he declares that
Medicaid should be drastically
revised because of inequities
and overcharging by
physicians, hospitals and
nursing homes.
Mr. Scott has been very
interested in Chinese culture
since his first visit to that
country in 1947. He has
recently returned from another
trip to Mainland China.
According to Mr. Scott the
Chinese government is
apparently interested in
providing for the consumer;
China has more consumer
goods, cheaper food and much
less rationing than does Soviet
Russia. Seldom are there
lines waiting to make their
purchases.
