A letter from Leslie Anthony criticizes a proposed S shaped expressway corridor through a city of under 110000, arguing it would destroy business, churches, schools and homes. The piece cites nearby bridges and ongoing repairs as signs the project is unnecessary and burdens taxpayers for future generations.
There now emanates from Washington a great plethora of figures on unemployment and the need for a war on poverty. A yearlong field survey by the National Federation of Independent Business suggests many unemployed lack skills. Questions remain about mental ability to learn, shiftlessness, and the lack of studies on poverty causes and tax funded remedies. A Cedar Rapids school paper notes custodian salaries and raises, arguing most workers have not benefited and tax costs rise with raises.
The piece argues unemployment and poverty arise from both shiftlessness and lack of opportunity. It criticizes government taxation and regulatory meddling as hampering enterprise. It asserts job creation requires employers and independent business growth to curb poverty and misfortune.
