Proof Positive

In the Idaho Statesman today came the proof, in black-and-white and it must be true-cuz-I-read-it-in-the-papers. What proof? Why, of the burden imposed on us all by socialism.

It was right there on the front page. How much our taxes have gone up. We knew it was going to happen. Those tax-and-spend socialists would dip their filthy fingers into our wallets and it only took them a few days to get to it.

In a bravura performance of reportage, the Statesman gives us the bill: sixty-one cents per Idahoan.

I feel oppressed already.
