Show Bureaucracy The Bogus Moses of Democracy We hear much these days of our rights, as states and localities, locali-ties, to tap the resources of the country as a whole through federal fed-eral taxation, to equalize opportunities oppor-tunities and benefits for every conceivable object and purpose. This is a catch phrase of the demagogue with which he builds up his own power and at the same time gains control over our puree, property and progress by propaganda. propa-ganda. Washington has become a battleground between pressure groups and localities for federal gifts and grants. Aided, abetted and egged on by a $75,000,000 bureaucratic propraganda machine, mach-ine, we have become willing victims vic-tims to the lure of "easy money." We hope to "Trip The Jackpot" of federal bounty to get more than we give. This is a dangerous delusion yupon which bureaucracy thrives. , This proceedure is bogus moses that will lead us not to the land of promise but to the land of un- $filled promises of lower taxes; not to the land of democracy but to the quagmire of bureaucracy. We continue to pour our money into in-to the federal slot machine but the margins are against us. In the aggregate, we receive far less than we pay. Bureaucracy is expensive. ex-pensive. What we do need is a Moses who will lead us back to the land of Democracy where both taxing and public spending are neighbors. Bureaucracy, with its flesh-pots of prodical federal grants and controls and with its illusion of giving something for nothing, must be left behind. We have our choice The land of Freedom and Democracy or The ' land of Federalists and Bureaucracy. Bureau-cracy. Which do we choose Liberty or Servitude ? |
