We have never met anybody who likes to pay income
whether he inhabited the highest brackets or the

we think is plain enough Taxes cut squarey across the

deeply rooted in human nature the instincts of sex
and self preservation The way to get rch 1t mas oeen

keep all the money you make or have but must turn
some of it over to Government, presumably to be spent
for the general welfare.

Of the newspapers you can read almost daily denuncla
tions of the undistributed profits tax, the
H00' SOO"0 capital gains tax, and various phases OF
SQUGWEIHg the Social Security income and IN
heritance taxes.
Yet the same papers generally favor the big Navy

have got take of the needy and the unemployed

that taxes would go on being unpopular even II tne
Government cut its expenses drastcay, dropped the
