...corporations, especially oil companies, are also making a killing. In 1970, the major oil companies earned profits of $8.8 billion and paid taxes at an average rate of 8.7 per cent. In contrast, a $6000-a-year worker paid Federal taxes at a 16 per cent rate...
...parting words were: "Well, good luck, get a stock option." The President's small coterie of social friends literally numbers a majority of millionaires.

Critics charge that Pinay's appointment is purely political; he is honorary president of the Républicains Indépendants, the Gaullists' chief allies in government. "We would have taken him more seriously," remarked the satirical magazine Le Canard Enchaine, "if he had been five or six years older." Noting that Pinay starts his six-year, $28,000-a-year job in early April, the Canard...
