All of which prompted Rep. George V. Hansen
(R. of Idaho) to read into the Congressional Record
the other day the following poem by one of his
constituents, Fred Foster of Silver City, Idaho:
Now he's a common, common man,
Tax him! Tax him all you can.
Tax his house and tax his bed,
Tax the bald spot on his head,
Tax his bread and tax his meat,
Tax his shoes clear off his feet,
Tax his pipe and tax his smoke,
Teach him government is no joke.
Tax his "Henry!" and tax his gas,
Tax the road that he must pass,
Tax the farmer, tax his fowl,
Tax the dog and tax his howl,
Tax his plow and tax his clothes.
