The Tax of Appetite Across The Family Circle
In this reflection the author notes general grumbling about taxes yet highlights a personal tax on appetite. It traces how youths begin with cider and cigars, progress to self indulgence taxes, and later face road, school, and church taxes while poverty bears the burden of voluntary appetite. The passage contrasts public taxes with private self infliction.
