Well, now.  Let us examine one statement Mr. Sevener has
made in this last article.  He points out that Income
Taxes were lowered and then decrys the fact that SS taxes
increased.  You are absolutely right Mr. Sevener.  Yet,
in making this statement, you infer that the SS increase
was attributable to the Reagan administraton.  Nice try,
but it won't wash.

I hold in my hand a pamphlet (HEW Publicaton No. [SSW] 79-10008)
which outlines the SS tax increases one can expect from 1979
through 1990 as written into law in the year 1978.  Now, if
memory serves, a gentleman named Carter was in charge of
our administration in 1978.  Another gentleman from New
England, a one Tip O'neil, was presiding over the House
of Representatives.  And in the Senate, guess who was the
Pres-Pro-Tem?  What this all leads to is that Mr. Sevener
in his zeal to blame everything from zits to the failure
of the acorn crop on the current administration, very
nicely ignores the facts.  Come on Sevener, gimme a break.
How many other "facts" have you slipped through hoping
to confuse those who are not too sure of what's going on?
I think everyone who reads Mr. Sevener should take his
facts with a grain of salt and understand that he is
doing nothing more than trying to discredit the current
administration in every way possible.  Nothing can be
as bad as Sevener makes it out to be.
