McCarthy '92
GENE McCARTHY for President
Gene McCarthy
INTRODUCTION
1992 may be the most crucial election year of the 20th century. Massive trade and budget deficits have grown exponentially in the Reagan-Bush years, and have eroded America's position as a world economic leader. President Bush says he wants to be the "environment president" or the "education president," yet he still refuses to take responsible positions on education, conservation, taxes, trade, employment and a host of other issues threatening our future.
As the Cold War has faded, President Bush has spoken of a "New World Order," but he has made no commitment to convert the old world military economy to a new peacetime economy. As military bases close around the Nation, little mention has been made of how to soften the blow for communities whose economies are being uprooted.
President Bush was willing to wage war for oil in the Middle East, but has been unwilling to move our country away from its excessive dependence on automobiles, or our profligate waste of natural resources. Rather than increasing the fuel efficiency of cars, George Bush is now suggesting that we destroy forever the largest wilderness reserve in the United States in search of a few years worth of oil.
While the Reagan-Bush team said they wanted to get the government off the backs of citizens, the Reagan-Bush administrations have championed new restrictions on freedom of speech, freedom of political expression, and the right to privacy.
The influence of corporations in domestic and foreign policy continues to grow. Their emphasis on short term profit , on consolidation and buy-out schemes, instead of on the production of durable, high-quality products goes a long way towards explaining the nation's current economic predicament. The Savings & Loan crisis has served as testimony to the Reagan-Bush willingness to let corporations run rampant at taxpayer expense.
For many years, Eugene McCarthy has addressed our Nation's problems with eloquence, wit, courage and insight. He has fashioned a reasoned alternative to the Republican platform of protecting the rich and neglecting the poor. Eugene McCarthy is creating a new force in American politics to challenge the irresponsible, unjust policies of the Reagan-Bush era.

BACKGROUND
Eugene McCarthy grew up in rural Minnesota; his father was a farmer and a cattle dealer. McCarthy attended St. John's University, where he captained the hockey team, played on the baseball team -- and graduated with honors in three years. He has farmed in Minnesota; taught high school in Minnesota and North Dakota; and taught college in Minnesota, New York and Maryland.
McCarthy served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 10 years. In the House he fought for farmers and migrant workers as a member of the Agriculture Committee and worked for tax reform as a member of the Ways and Means Committee. He was also a founder of the Democratic Study Group, which in its early days was known as "McCarthy's Mavericks."
McCarthy served in the United States Senate for 12 years. His work in the Senate included service on the Agriculture, Finance and Foreign Relations Committees. He also chaired the Special Committee on Unemployment Problems, which made many proposals that were adopted by the Congress.
As early as 1954, McCarthy called for better supervision of the CIA. In the 1960s, he was among the first to call for limits on American arms sales around the world. In 1968 he courageously challenged President Johnson in the Democratic primaries, becoming one of the first senators to speak out against Johnson's expansion of the Vietnam war. His campaign transformed American politics and served to open the system to large numbers of previously disenfranchised citizens.
McCarthy was the chief Senate sponsor of the Equal Rights Amendment. He has long fought for the rights of minorities and the poor. He has supported universal health care since 1948.

1. Tax credits for research and development.
2. Restore the interest deduction on consumer credit.
3. Eliminate the capital gains tax on the sale of primary family homes. (However, the home would have to be lived in for at least three years unless a move is forced due to job relocation.)
4. Eliminate the waste in the automobile culture by:
6. Increase the corporate income tax to reverse the long-term regressive trend of increasing reliance on the personal income tax.
7. Lower or do away with capital gains tax.
8. Sell or auction all new television and radio frequencies; establish renewal or transfer fees for existing licenses. No more grazing on the public mind for free!
9. Redistribute work by shortening the work year, week, or day using a gradual and phased approach in industries and businesses where appropriate. Work towards a reduction in the use of overtime.
10. Institute a capital levy on accumulated wealth, starting at $5 million and graduating to a top rate for $10 million and upward.
