Revenue Sharing A Fraud

Attacking President Nixon's
revenue sharing program, Mr.
Anderson called it the "most
outrageous fraud in the United
States. The federal government
has nothing to share except
bankruptcy."

He described the federal
government as a "giant
bloodsucker. It's like
transfusing blood from your
left arm to your right arm, and
keeping half in the process."

Mr. Anderson further
attacked the federal
government for its tax system
that makes "slaves" of its
citizens. "The way taxes are in
the U.S. today, you might as
well marry for love," he said.
