C. As far back as biblical days, tho tax collector was an unpopular person. Today you don't see the tax collector but you know who writes the tax laws and the folks who do (congress) lead a most unhappy life, especially In an election yeur such as we are approaching The complicated problem they face can be simply stated-thi- nk It over and figure out what you would do If you had to write a tax law The problem Is tins how to colleit the most dollars and lose the least votes Soak the rich7 Will, they have the money and It hints them the least, but unfortunately there are not enough of them to soak It is too bad because they are so few In number that their votes don't matter so much (Only 40 949 people or approximately one eight hundredth of those with incomes earn over 0 a year ) Tax tiie rest7 That will bring in the biggest total but they are the pins with the votes The President says we need 106 billion dollars to run the war this year. The treasury says that out of every dollar collected, 90 cents goes to pay the war bills So there have been a number of schemes coni oi ted wlmh are aimed at getting the nervous dollars, the ones most likely to create inflation riesumablv they are the dollars at belong to the people who aie now getting a lot more money than they did before the war It would be just to take the "exuss profits to pay for the war especially bi cause the people who are getting a lit more than they are used to are the ones who spend most fieelv So compulsory savings has been suggested. That Is, making liule bam colleit a part of everjbodv's Ineome, whiih would be returned after the war. Then there Is a iheme to tax spending. In other words, tax the dollars whiih are pent on extras, dollars that get bai k into riri ulation and push up llie Inflation spiral. Not the dollars that go Into homes or life insurant e or paying old di Ms, but the dollars that romp o(T for more clothes than you need to wear, more food and drink than you need to absorb, more gadgets thin vou ought to get along with In wartime.
