Almost no one can think logically in terms of tens of billions and hu.ndred of billions. But when the meaning of taxes and the debt is related to the average man and the average family, the ominous picture clears. The Bulletin of the Southern States Industrial Council recently did that when it said, The public debt is $260,000,000,000 and this lays a $6,800 burden on every family in America. The interest alone on this debt aggregates more than $6,000,000,000 annually or $180 for every family. Last year the average family paid $ 1,589 in direct taxes and another $500 in hidden taxes. A total of more than $2,000. This year the take will be greater. When the $85,500,000,000 budget proposed for next year which it is now estimated will, create a deficit of $14,000,000,000 is compared with current Federal spending we find that it will add an average financial liability either in taxes or increased debt of $226 for every family ' in America. There it is. We cant think in billions, but we can think in hundreds and in thousands. Its your money. Its coming out of your pockets and it will come out of your childrens pockets. Debt and taxes are destroying us from within. It isnt a question of whether we want to cut government spending. We must cut it if we are to survive as a free people.

Back in the year 1900 the average person paid $3.88 in Federal taxes, while the average per person tax today is $472 according to the U.S.News & World Report. It isn't the high cost of living, its the high cost of government. , ARLINGTON, WASH., TIMES? The county treasurers office. . . . is crowded with citizens checking up and paying taxes. . . . By a study of his statement the taxpayer can figure his exact contribution toward the administration of his city, which provides police protection, fire protection, upkeep of his streets, lighting, library, and various services On the other hand the immense sums the Federal . . government whisk away from him are meekly surrendered. . . . If the taxpayer raised half the howl. . . . over the Federal extractions that he raises over the county pittance, the din might be heard, and have a wholesome effect in Washington. NORWALK, CONN.
