standards.
“The way we regulate is chang
ing,” Walker said. “We don’t need
bureaucrats making decisions at
the federal and state level and get
ting in each other’s way. We are
spending more for legal costs than
we are for environmental clean up.
We need a series of national stan
dards and allow the states to enfor
ce these standards in a way that
makes sense to the local areas. But
if you pollute the streams, for
example, we are going to go after
you. We are eliminating layers of
bureaucracy, but we are not going
to lower environmental standards.
“In regulation reform, you need
to make certain that than is good
science to take the suggested
action. Are the benefits large
enough to justify the cost? EPA
should be requited to apply the
economic test every time it goes
with a regulatory package.
As for tax reduction. Walker
said he believed the new tax pack
age would be likely to contain two
things: a reduction in capital gains ,
tax down to about 19 or 20 percent
and a $5OO per child tax credit

“We are acting across the board
to eliminate a lot of spending.”
Walker said. “But you can’t cut die
budget without cutting the budget
You need to do litigation, taxation,
and regulation reform at the same
time you cut the budget That way
everything comes together, and
you can end up with a more profit
able agriculture.”
Walker said be opposes a sales
or consumption tax because it
hasn’t worked in other countries.
He favors a flat tax but said there is
no simple answer to this question
because exemptions in the flat tax
lead to the same problems we have
now.
Walker said he expected a new
farm bill to be formed by the end of
September so it could be part of the
reconciliation bill to gel the form
bill provisions into the budget. But
he said there is a lot of disagree
ment by segments of agriculture
and those outside of agriculture
about what should go into the form
bill. The debate will be “an inter
esting brawl before we find the
approach.” Walker said.
“Partners need to be good busi
ness people,” Walker said. "The
wealth of the future is going to be
