I read a statement by Kennedy in which he says
we must have higher social security benefits,
higher old age benefits, higher medical benefits,
and all hamsters must be protected from want!
Oh yes, farmers ought to get what's coming to
them, and I couldn't agree more. I forgot to apply
for my gas refund for non-highway vehicles and
lost 100 dollars. This is a legitimate refund, for
the gas taxes are supposed to go for highway
maintenance and extension, but tractors shouldn't
help pay for it. I told the tax clerk I didn't begrudge
the $100 because it offsets some of the nice things
the taxpayers are doing for me, a farmer – 3/4 the
cost of ponds, for instance, free trees for tree belts,
half the cost of limestone which I would buy anyway
and last but not least, the floor under prices.
