It notes 12 cent Christmas stamps and 3 cent mail in the past, current higher candy sugar costs, a Canada newsprint strike raising printing costs, and gas at Chicago stations above 70 cents per gallon. It criticizes petroleum firms for profits and calls for less government intervention.
The piece argues that politicians claim to aid the little man yet abandon that aim once elected. It notes the gap between rhetoric and action as investments falter. Mutual funds seem poor, stock markets sour, and big names like Exen Texaco ARCO offer meager profits.
