Item — Box: DP 20, Folder: 11

Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_20_11_0020

Scope and Contents

The document discusses how Uncle Sam collects billions of dollars in taxes related to motor vehicles, but only gives a small portion back to the states for highway construction and maintenance. It also criticizes the power of unelected officials in Washington bureaus to make laws and regulations, which can restrict individual freedom. The document suggests that Congress needs to address these issues, but it may be difficult to achieve without a majority of congressmen who prioritize limiting government power.
