For all'that has

fame been said about

amt the Stone Age

Man, he had a few

things ‘going for

him, Did: he ‘ever.

have to suffer the

frustration of applying for a

building licence, business li-

cence, permission to’ buy, sell,
grow, invest or dispose of?

No sir, he simply found an

unoccupied caveiand moved

in—no taxes, .no hassle-with

bureaucrats, boards, builders

or blockheads. The trouble is,
ever. since’ Magna’ Carta, the

Establishment fas tried to get

again, Come election’ time
they'll run their fingers
through our, hair, Whonzin
power, we discover they, were

* merely after. our scalp. .'

Not that one can blame the.
politicians entirely.» Many vot-
ers will vote for any kind of pie
in the sky just as'long as they
are convinced they, will come
out with the biggest alice,

They tell.us we have’ the

highest standard of living in the.

world, Right’ on.. Food’ prices
and housing costs are sky high.
Mortgage interest is out of
sight. Taxes were never higher.
Time was’ when a: budget

make ends meet. Today it's a
confirmation of where your
meat ends! A lot of people
blame their high taxation on an
excess of government bureaus.
Could be—but- where else ‘are

they going to store all, those -

taxpayers’ shirts?

I've yet to meet a politician
that didn’t tHink he was going
to leave footprints in the'sands
of history. I know a good many.
who will leave the mark of a
heel, Youtl ll know them. by the
patter of their little defeats.
Once elected, they begin to feel
their oats, lose their horse-
sense and wind: up’ making
asses of themselves. This type

"thinks by the inch, talks by the

mile and can only be removed
by; the foot!

2/80 how did they get
elected in ‘the first place?
Largely because too many
people are looking for some-
thing for nothing, while others

swant. to give nothing for

something. Since government

tsa pauper itself, it proceeds to’

rob Peter to pay Paul. But what

‘happens when Peter downs

Cools and decides not to be the
“patsy” any longer? What hap-

‘pens when the poverty is

“equalized"? Could be we'll

catart hunting for a few vacant.
