My¢shattered financial condition is due¢to Federal Laws, State Laws, County¢Laws, Corporation Laws, Liquor Laws,¢Mother in Laws, Brother in Laws,¢Sister in Laws, and Outlaws.¢¢Through these laws I am compelled to¢pay a business tax, amusement tax,¢head tax, school tax, gas tax, light¢tax, furniture tax, and excise tax.¢¢I am required to get a business¢license, car license, operator's¢license, truck license, hunting¢license, fishing license, and not to¢mention a marriage license and a dog¢license.¢¢I am required to contribute to every¢society and originization which the¢genius of man is capable of bringing¢to life; to the womans relief, the¢unemployed relief, and the gold¢diggers relief. Also to every hospital¢and charitable institutation, the¢Salvation Army, Community Chest, Red¢Cross, Purple Cross, Double Cross, Boy¢Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts,¢Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. as well as way¢stations for Wayward girls and of¢course Boys Ranch and Boys Town.¢¢For my own safety I am required to¢carry health insurance, life¢insurance, fire insurance, property¢insurance, liability insurance,¢burglary insurance, accident¢insurance, business insurance,¢earthquake insurance, tornado¢insurance, flood insurance, auto¢insurance and old age insurance.¢¢My business is so governed that it is¢no easy matter to find out who owns¢it.
