	Matt Fong's Flat Tax
		It's Matt Fong, our Treasurer--which means he is supposed to know a lot about tax policy--and the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.
		Does Matt Fong think that we're so stupid that we won't notice the contradiction when he implies that the flat tax is a tax cut for everybody?
		All quotes from Matt Fong's January 17, 1996 press release; and from his January 31, 1996 testimony before the Senate Finance Committee.

	What Are the Ties That Bind Fong to China? -- Oct. 27, 1998
		Fong, who is in favor of legal abortions during the first trimester but not thereafter, is not quite in the camp of Sheldon, who has likened abortion at any time to murder.
		Fong spokesman Steve Schmidt defended the donation: "Rev. Lou's group is about voter participation and involvement, and Matt Fong supports people being involved in the process." Which seems a bit disingenuous, given Sheldon's extreme right-wing agenda, including at one point calling for the quarantine of people with AIDS.
		Fong is not a dupe of the Chinese Communists and he did not use Red yuans to support Sheldon, but he did finance Sheldon's hate campaign in a way that mocks Fong's claim that he is a moderate.

	LA Weekly - Matt Fong is no Boxer
		"Matt was in the right place at the right time." That sentiment is shared, privately, by others in the Chinese-American community who have followed Fong's smooth rise on the GOP affirmative-action track, even as he is viewed as the best hope for greater representation for that long-overlooked community.
		An irony which is surely not lost on Fong is that his mother was forced to withdraw from her 1988 Senate primary bid after questions were raised about the finances of her second husband, millionaire Singapore businessman Henry Eu, who refused to file financial-disclosure statements as required by law.
		Fong has not, in the manner of other successful ethnic politicians, done a lot to bring others into the political process in his seven years in public office.

		MATT FONG: She has been unwilling to apply the same standard to her Democrat president that she did to Republicans.
		MATT FONG: Then help me get elected so I cannot only fight to lower them but to end the IRS as we know it and build a new 21st century tax code that stops punishing savings and investing by ending the capital gains tax and ending the death tax.
		Despite the polls in one aspect of the race, she leads, while the Matt Fong campaign expects to raise 8 to 9 million dollars overall, Boxer says she is anticipating a 15 million dollar war chest.

		Fong's most consistent problem thus far, however, has been his inability to raise the huge sums of money that are required to run a serious campaign in a state like California.
		Fong has also been implicated in a fundraising scandal of his own for a $100,000 donation to his Treasurer campaign in 1994 from an Indonesian businessman who is also accused of illegally donating to the Democratic National Committee.
		Fong returned the money, claiming he did not know its origin, but there is evidence that Fong was present when some of the checks were written.

	AsianWeek.com: National News: Judicial Watch Questions Matt Fong
		Larry Klayman says, “Judicial Watch is a friend of Asian Americans.” Yet, this public law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption alleges that Matt Fong President Bush’s nominee for undersecretary of the Army — may be a security risk to the United States.
		Fong accepted a $100,000 donation from Ted Sioeng, an Indonesian businessman, to pay off debt from his 1994 campaign for California Treasurer.
		Because Fong accepted money from someone who is an “agent of Communist China,” the importance of his potential position to national security should require Congress to further investigate Fong.

	Washingtonpost.com: A Golden State for Democrats
		To that end, Fong's campaign launched a counterattack against Boxer today with a negative ad that accuses her of being "too liberal and ineffective for California." Republican strategists say Fong must attract more support from Democratic men and that ad is designed in part to do that.
		Fong is not as conservative on social issues as many in his party, but has had trouble establishing his identity in this campaign, and the contribution only made that problem worse.
		Before donors in Newport Beach on Saturday, Fong said the campaign would be a referendum on Boxer's "extremism, her divisiveness and her hypocrisy," adding that his opponent is "a left-wing radical" who has coddled criminals, weakened the national defense, raised taxes and crippled local education.

		Fong is also a proponent of the flat tax, a regressive idea with few followers other than the quixotic conservative tycoon Steve Forbes.
		Fong opposes federal funding for abortions and supports parental-consent laws for girls under the age of 18, but he is somewhat shielded from criticism because of his rationale: he was adopted.
		Fong may succeed in painting Boxer as extreme, but more because of public perception than because of her actual performance.

	Online NewsHour: 98 Election - California Report -- October 29, 1998
		Boxer is now up by 5% over Matt Fong in polls, a ten point swing from her previous 5% deficit, helped by outspending him 2:1 in TV adds and a voter backlash against Republican impeachment efforts.
		Fong has chosen to run the race "on the issues" and has avoided "going negative." Yet if any race should be negative, it's Fong's.
		Fong's error in not going after Boxer was masked in the earlier by the negatives inflicted on Democrats by the Lewinsky scandal.

		Fong's self-deprecation at once comforted and uplifted the crowd of mostly conservative farm Democrats -- the kind of voters he'll need to attract in his neck-and-neck race against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer.
		Fong's advisors believe that if their candidate can raise $10 million or so for television commercials, he's a shoe-in.
		On most economic and education issues, meanwhile, Fong is a rock-solid right-winger; he strongly supports a flat tax, wants to eliminate the capital-gains tax and death tax, and consistently mentions school choice and education savings accounts in his campaign appearances.
