In reply to your request to send a check, I wish to inform you
that the present condition of my bank account makes it almost
impossible.
My shattered financial conditions are due to Federal laws,
corporation laws, mothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law,
and outlaws.
Through these taxes I am compelled to pay a business tax,
assessment tax, head tax, school tax, income tax, casket tax,
food tax, furniture tax, sales tax and excise tax. Even my brain
is taxed.
I am required to get a business license, car license, hunting
license, fishing license, truck and auto license, not to mention
marriage and dog license. I am also required to contribute to
every society and organization which the genius of man is capable
of bringing into life; to women's relief, unemployed relief, and
gold digger's relief. Also to every hospital and charitable
institution in the city, including the Red Cross, the Black Cross,
the Purple Cross and the Double Cross.
For my own safety, I am compelled to carry life insurance,
liability insurance, burglary insurance, accident insurance,
property insurance, business insurance, earthquake insurance,
tornado insurance, unemployment insurance, old age insurance and
fire insurance.
My own business is so governed that it is no easy matter for me
to find out who owns it. I am inspected, suspected, disrespected,
rejected, dejected, and compelled until I prove an inexhaustible
supply of money for every known need of the human race.
Simply because I refuse to donate something or another I am
boycotted, talked about, lied about, held up, held down and robbed
until I am almost ruined. I can tell you honestly that except for
a miracle that happened I could not enclose this check. The wolf
that comes to my door nowadays just had pups in my kitchen.
I sold them and here's the money.
