What Are You Leaving Us? b y a High School B o y There is no use pretending you don’t see me. You just sit still and listen.
as hard', or as well, or get as lucky? This luck business is important: in your heart you know that in the game o f life, there has to be a jackpot, or the game won’t be played very hard. Where did you get the crazy idea that the man who earns twice as much should be taxed four times as much? (I know where you got it: right out of Marx.) Where did you get this idea that government can take care of everybody? You know you can’t get something for noth ing; yet you pretend that people in Washing ton can give you things without first taking them away from you. I’d rather risk having to stand on a bread line a few times than spending my life standing in line for government handouts. If there were any other place in the world where government wouldn’t plan my life for me even more so, it wouldn’t be so bad, but America is the only place left—and look what you are doing to it.
I’m not very smart yet, but I’m smart enough to see what you are doing to the country in which I must grow up and support my family. When I do that, will I be allowed to be my self or will I be a Social Security number in a government file? When I get sick, whose doctor can I go to, my doctor or the government doctor? When I go to school, who is going to decide what I learn, my mother and father or a gov ernment bureau? When I am able to afford a house, will I be able to build one just as good as I can make it, or will it be a government-built house, worth only part of what the government taxed me for housing? What makes you think it would be “ bad” for me to have to make my way in competition with others? If I work a little harder, or better, or get lucky, will I be able to keep any more of what I earn than the other fellow who didn’t work
read'a-ble—pleasing, interesting
