CONFIDENTIAL
SU - 8th Draft
1/20/71
- 16 -
Let us share our resources:
-- to rescue the States and localities from the
brink of financial crisis
-- and to give homeowners and wage earners a
chance to escape from ever-higher property taxes and
sales taxes.
Let us share our resources for two other reasons as well.
The first of these reasons has to do with government itself, and
the second with the individual.
On every hand, we can feel a rising frustration with governments
that seem incapable of performing.
The fact is that we have made the Federal Government soostrong
it is musclebound and the States and localities so weak they are impo-
tent. States and localities are unable to do what they should be doing
because Washington holds both the reins of power and the strings of
the purse.
There is an old saying that "you can't fight city hall. 11 Well,
this is not true. You can fight city hall -- and what is more you can
fight it a lot more effectively and with a lot better chance of success
