Taxpayers really are people-or should be regarded as such-and for their support of their rights of proprieorshp should be conserved Taxpayers pay salaries of public officials; pay public improvements; pay in fact every penny furnished gov
 
 Every penny delivered over should have little string This string should represent the taxpayers hold public funds temporarily entrusted public servants until released by the satisfied of the gvers One way to disturb this arrangement would to delegate such authority public official would constitute
