Additional Description

Physical Location

Burtonhall cold storage 1

Transcription

I'm a working man, and I work 40 hours a week just like everybody else. And it seems like if I get a Saturday, get a little overtime, let's say I get $70, $75. You know, exactly half of that overtime goes to taxes. I am really working for nothing. If you ever ask yourself where that tax dollar goes, we used to run the United States government on about $10 billion a year. We've spent $150 billion on Vietnam alone. We're spending $80 billion on the Pentagon every year. The president wants another $4 billion added on this year, beyond what we were spending last year on military operations. I think you ought to ask yourself where that tax dollar is going. McGovern, Democrat for the people. The people are paying for this campaign with their hard-earned dollars. Send what you can to McGovern for President, Washington, D.C.
