pay — only to discover that higher Social Security
costs leave him with less than he was earning before
he received a nfise. The latest $6.2 billion proposal
would extend that unhappy experience to many,
many more working people.
Senator John J. Williams (R-I)el) has said that
the spender majority in the Senate has turned the
tax bill into “a Christmas tree.” The spenders may
be disappointed, however, as the tax-paving public
is increasingly sophisticated. Fewer and fewer peo-
pie these days believe the old liberal propaganda
that the federal government dispenses “free” ben-
efits. l
Nowadays, the majority of people subscribe to
a more realistic view of economics. They know that
every handout from government has to be paid for
by the taxpayers. In state after state there are tax-
payer rebellions. Taxpayer associations are cropping
up in many cities and counties as concerned citizens
determine something must be done to bar additional
tax burdens imposed on them by giveaway-minded
politicians. Thus the Albert Gores in politics may
find that the giveaway promises of yesteryear don't
fool a new generation of working Americans.
The “silent majority” in the United States isn’t
concerned exclusively with foreign affairs. Th#
“silent Americans,” or one might call them the “fed
up’’ Americans, also are aroused about the waste
of the taxpayers money and about the nonsensical
liberal thinking that equates handouts with prosperi-
ty.
Millions of working people receive — along with
their paychecks — itemized statements which show
how much of their earnings go for state and federal
income tax and for Social Security. The promisee
of politicians aren’t persuasive when one can look
at the list of deductions and see how bigger federal
programs and various government giveaways re-
sult in a reduction in take-home pay.
‘ 8 . - 4|
Everyone would like a tax cut, and many peo-
ple would welcome higher Social Security programs.
But they don’t want these things if the price means
higher taxes in the future and a severe cutback in
the weekly paycheck. Senator Gore and others who
voted for the latest giveaways are likely to discover
that people today are fiscally well informed and will
welcome a presidential veto of a tax bill that doesn’t
make sense.
