Soko Teky Federl state taxes our problem that must be solved sooner or later is the relationship Between Federal and state taxation. The Federal government takes so Large a share what with income and payroll taxes and excises that state and municipal governments find themselves Hamstrung. Local taxer realize that the Load is getting too heavy and no politician desires to add the Straw that will break the Camel s Back.

Quot it Means that the state actually invites the Federal government to invade its territory to oust its Jurisi lion and to establish fed eral Dominion within the innermost c Citadel of reserved rights of John the Commonwealth.
