A . bunch of fools couldn't have thought up the many, many ways to get tax money out of our pockets." : We want to pass along to our readers the following, which is getting around the country pretty fast. Its genealogy goes back to the Des Moines Reporter; then the Chautauqua News reprinted it; we stole it from the Morgan County News: "I think I'm in big trou- ble. "I was going through my today and I found something I can't explain. "A dollar. "Yes a whole dollar. "I've paid my income tax and my state tax. I've paid amusement tax, sales tax, hospital tax. "I've paid taxes for Medicare and old age benefits. "I've paid the liquor tax, the cigaret tax, the automobile tax, the school tax, and the tax to put up a bridge at the other end of the coun- ' " y "When I paid my lawyer I pay tax on that and so does he. I pay tax on the money I gave to the 600 bucks, and real estate salesman and the man who makes out my income tax from each year. "So how come I've still got a dollar. "Obviously, I've made a mistake somewhere and overlooked a tax. "But, I distinctly remember paying my road tax, the excise tax, the defense tax and the tax to provide more scholarships for kids to go to the university so they can tell me how rotten the system is. "I've paid my taxes for sewers, bombs, wheat for India, the Senate, hockey rinks and public transportatbaby-sitte- r ion. "Yes, I've paid my water tax. "And when they charge us an air tax to clean up the pollution, I'll pay that, too. "I confess I haven't paid my death taxes yet. "But I will. "I've paid my taxes for parks, fire protection, law enforcement. I've paid my taxes to help the farmer, the Indian, and the unmarried mother. "I wouldn't dream of going fishing, owning a dog, or getting married without first paying the tax. "I pay taxes on the toothpaste I use when I get up in the morning and I pay taxes on the pillow I rest my head on when the day is over. "How come I've got this dollar in my pocket? Where did it come from? Did somebody put it there to get me in trouble? Is there a tax when you find a dollar like that? "I'm not sure. "But I know the government is going to be sore when they find out I've got Precinct No. 2, Sandy and much of White City, with Union being moved to Cottonwood Heights. Population 6,099.
