The ancient Egyptians wrote this way

Taxing Government

AS one who cares for the
American form of government,
look with suspicion on this pro-
posal to have the Federal govern
ment collect income taxes on
salaries paid by the State govern
ments and vice versa.
Government pays the money
out, then Government takes the
money back.
Why not just reduce the Sala-
ries all around in the amounts
of taxes and save the bookkeep-
ing costs?
No. The schemers want to
advance from that proposal, I
suspect and tax the securities
issued by the units of govern
ment.
Could not the Federal govern
ment use the power to tax State
governments into submission or
out of existence?
And is it not somebody's idea,
maybe, that this ought to occur?
