A commentary argues against the belief that taxing the rich would fix fiscal problems. IRS data from 1970 show only 0.5 percent earned above 50 000, yet the rich provide 15 percent of revenue. The majority of revenue comes from those with 15 000 plus incomes, while those under 15 000 pay 49 percent.
The Texas Tech Institute survey shows 82.5 percent oppose an income tax and 68.9 percent oppose a value added tax. Nearly 90 percent oppose dividing the state, and 53.0 percent back a single four year governorship. A slim 51.9 percent favor a state consumer board. No fault insurance gains 63.9 percent support.
Ed Doolittle shared clippings for the agender as Zeke Grubb returns from a hospital stay. He explains being behind on papers due to visitors and hospital time and jokes about his upcoming shipment list to Siberia. He recalls a room with a no visitors sign on the door for two days.
The column recaps hospital room etiquette and visiting trouble with Zeke and Ed Doolittle. It also spoofs postwar quirks noting stamps, football plays, and Russian prohibition efforts in a rambling community vignette.
The piece argues the Ninth Commandment, not bearing false witness, is often broken through gossip and idle talk about others. It cites reasons people gossip, including inner inferiority and self-righteous condemnation, and warns that listening enables slander. It closes with a parable about harsh judgments and calls for introspection.
