Show Subsidy Spent On Luxuries British taxpayers who are assessed as-sessed $600,000,000 a year-to subsidize sub-sidize food and housing for low-income low-income groups are all stirred up by the news that these same low-income low-income groups own 77 per cent of the television sets in the island. These groups, earning less than $35 a week, pay little, if any income in-come tax. With television sets costing from $150 up, including sales tax, subsidized food and housing nevertheless enable low-income low-income families to buy on the installment in-stallment plan when people earning earn-ing more money can't afford such luxuries. |
