[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 289241, member: 367"] I think some of the notch babies endured some significant mental anguish , My Mom is the most mild mannered person you could meet , She has never complained about anything EXCEPT that the government didn't give her what she rightfully earned and deserved. Keep in mind the notch babies worked their fingers to the bone in the dirty 30s as teenagers in full survival mode and couldn't afford so much as a new pair of shoes. Many of them were farmers and they experienced some wonderful years in the 50s and 60s and early 70s then another disaster came looking them in the eye, Poor crops and low grain prices with 18% interest rate made for an Instant flash back of another long row to hoe, Then Uncle sam said bend over and take this. I think Uncle Sam really gave off bad vibes to those involved and especially those who gave it their all to served in WW2 , I had an uncle the same age as Gordon that saw a lot in WW2 and his way of thinking was in line with Gordons but he had better judgement where to draw that line in the sand. He absolutely hated the government farm checks that they tried to get him to take. They didn't want anything they didn't earn or deserve but they did want what they though they had coming. PG You need to watch Death and Taxes, It tells both sides of the story not just the US Marshalls side. There's a lot more to this story than what you seem to realize. I'm not sticking up for Gordon for not filing his tax returns but it's interesting to look back on how this all played out. [/QUOTE]
