workers are similar to that of the
employers in industry 30 or 40 years
ago.
Agricultural employers have
opposed legislation to allow their
employes rights of collective
oargaining. Farm workers also were
excluded from protection under major
labor acts passed by the federal
government.
Sorensen also pointed out problems
in the proposed revenue sharing plan
between the federal and state
governments. Many states, he said, are
not well enough organized to handle
caS?
these significant funds which would be
coming into statehouses.
"HOWEVER A MORE serious
problem is that some states, especially
in the South, have traditionally
refused to meet their responsibility to
their citizens," he said.
"Revenue sharing is a temporary
salve, not a solution to the problems,"
he remarked. His own solution lies in
the tax structures of the states.
He feels that states must change
from a regressive to a progressive tax
base. This would involve placing the
tax emphasis on income taxes and
reducing or eliminating sales and
property taxes.
"Raising tax rates or re-evaluating
property is political suicide for
legislators and administrators and
meanwhile state institutions are
starving. Raising income tax rates
occurs less frequently and tax revenues
increase with the economy," Sorensen
said.
TURNING TO POLITICS itself,
Sorensen indicated, that political
parties are only psychological aspects
of our mind. The parties don't exist as
far as determining candidiates or
policies. Individuals now determine

the party and its policies.
The only functions which the party
retains are that of fund raising,
organizing campaigns, and political job
filling.
As far as his own political future is
concerned, Sorensen expressed an
interest in returning to politics.
However he feels it is a mistake to plan
too much for politics because in the
process of trying to get elected, one
could lose the real reasons why he ran
in the first place. "Right now I am
concerned with doing the things that I
like to do," he concluded.
