“If High Tax Harry (President | Truman) wants me to get that money for him, then he must appoint me an agent for the Internal Revenue Department. “I am not a tax collector and if an American citizen can be fined and thrown into prison for| not collecting taxes from his workers, then let's know about it now. Let's see what the court has to say about this law--it's not the first one passed in viola tion of the Constitution.”

There is no record of an employer previously refusing tol® withhold taxes from wages. (However, a small battery shop owner once in Pennsylvania re fused to pay social security taxes on his employees. The Federa Tax Bureau seized one of hi {trucks every so often, auctioned it off and kept the proceeds as ¢ taxes.) | “They don't need any socialized medicine in this country, Jus ; (pay the workers what they really | earn and they'll pay their own| doctor bills.
