If fairness means the most number of people ought to get their own money back, then Governor Bush’s proposal wins. If fairness means that the lowest income people ought to get the biggest tax cut, then Mr. Bush’s proposal wins. If fairness means that the highest income people ought to get the smallest tax cut, then Mr. Bush’s proposal wins. And if fairness means that people should not have to jump through government-approved hoops to receive any tax cut at all, then Mr. Bush’s proposal wins. Wall Street Journal
