Opinions Expressed in This Column
Are Not Necessarily the Views of
This Newspaoer.l
The moral Of this story Is an old
one: never sign on the dotted Una
until you have read what you are
signing.
Apparently, though, It Is a moral
lesson that about half the United
States Senators have forgotten, or
are just learning. And a first hand
experience with the moral is causing
these Snators some embarrassing
momepta right now.
Center of the embarrassment is
Car-reacMng tax bill, with a sugarcoated
title saying it would "take the
profits out of war," which recently
appeared In the Senate bill hopper.
It bore the names of 50 Senators as
sponsors.
Offhand, the bill appeared one like
ly to be favored by the public. After
nil. nobody likes /war. But careful
reading of thin bill with the, "take
tie profits out of war" title, has revealled
the title to be a misnomer.
In reality, the bill goes far beyond
the soralled 'profits of war* and
reaches, right down ho the bottom of
everybody's pocket. So broqd is the
Mil, that low Income groups who t
now escape paying Income taxes
(but of oourse still pay heavily thru
indirect taxes) would have ho give up
