‘America running scared’
by VON BRASCHLER
F’ o rtla n d
te le v is io n
m oderator G erry P ra tt,
shadow boxing like a future
politican, Tuesday told the
Sandy Chamber of Com
merce that America is runn
ing scared and being
mislead politically.
"W e re heading today
toward a Herbert Hoover
economy," said the Fred
Meyer trust administrator
frequently mentioned as a
potential political candidate
"That kind of thinking got
us into the depression. I
don’t want to go through that
again, yet we seem almost
c o m m itte d to p u ttin g
ourselves through that ”
In terms of resources,
te ch n o lo g y and h ea lth
America is better than ever,
Pratt countered
"Don’t let any kind of
political thinking committed
to helping people who have
more than they need turn
that kind of thinking off for
you," he said of American
pride
" I f you think that's a
political statement," Pratt
said, " I guess it is."
He said taxes aren't the
bugaboo and that expensive
money (high interest rates)
won't save the national
economy.
What's needed, Pratt said,
is some discipline and struc
ture in government today,
not selling short some fifty
years of social legislation in
cutting government cost.
"A tax revolution isn't the
kind of revolution we’ll have
to face," he said "They’re
going to start taking houses
and jobs away from a whole
generation That's the sort of
thing that leads to anarchy "
"Y ou don't pay taxes
unless you make a profit If
you make a profit, you pay
more taxes Would you
rather pay taxes and have a
booming business'1 Would
you rather pay taxes and go
to work’’ "
Pratt said there's a lot of
"boloney" in the administra
tion's economic approach
and the pessimistic guilt felt
by Americans who fear
they've "had it too good"
and now must suffer
"We don't want to turn our
backs on things that made
this country great," he said
of social cuts and belt
tightening "Someone’s try
ing to convince us we re
broke ”
"Somehow we've decided
that we’ve had it too good
and have to do penance by
pricing ourselves out of
business with high interest
rates that nobody can pay."
The government enters the
picture, Pratt said, as so
meone who says reducing
taxes and "wiping out half a
century of social legislation"
maybe w ill take care of our
problems.
"Now they talk about
doubling gasoline tax, doubl
ing your phone bill, doubling
cigarette tax and doubling li
quor tax So who pays’ We
pay ”
Pratt doesn't feel America
is on the verge of a tax
revolt
"Anyone I've met whose
business is under the brunt
of it tells me they'd rather
pay taxes than go on the
dole "
Pratt said the big winners
in tax cuts w ill be big
business.
"Raising the cost of money
( in te re s t ra te s ) is no
a n s w e r," he said. The
money goes to people who
have that kind of money to
lend Business in this coun
try won't be good again until
interest rates come down "
Nuclear energy is an ex
ample of American pride
turned to shame. Pratt said
E a rly p ro je c tio n s said
n u c le a r ene rg y w ould
become cheap and solve any
energy problems
The dream burst, he said,
when Americans lost con
fidence in their ability to
control the environment
Suddenly a plant like Trojan
that cost $400 million and
rivals Bonneville in power
output costs $5 billion to
build
"We re afraid of it,” Pratt
said "We thought we had a
genie in a bottle when we
first looked at it. Now we
think we can't control it
That’s boloney We've turn
ed out back on things ”
Pratt, a former Sandy
Mountain Days parade m ar
shal considered an early
candidate two years ago for
U.S. Sen Bob Packwood's
seat, said he supported San
dy Democrat Jack Travis in
a local race for new state
House District 23
