By DeWitt EMERY President of the National Small Business Mens Association Do you realize that no matter how much or how little money you earn or how you earn it, whether as a factory worker, a farmer, an executive. a salesman, or what have you, you do not have a constitutional right to keep even one penny of your earnings? Your right to worship as you please is guaranteed by the constitution. Your right to free speech is guaranteed by the f asYour right to freede folmeet with to y sembly, purlow men for any peace pose is guaranteed by uie stitution. Your right to have your day in a free court is guaranteed so on by the Constitution and Constiand on. But under the tution you do not have any right, because you earned it or for any other reason, to keep any, not even one thin dime, of your income. Also, if you own an incorporated business or own stock in a corporation, any corporation, that corporation does not have a constitutional right to keep any of its income. . Cons'-micn- I know this is hard to believe but nevertheless it's true. Heres what the law says, the law in this case being the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which came effective on February 23, be- 1913: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration. Thats the Sixteenth Amendment: Thats what it says and if you can fmd anything in this amendment which says that Congress cannot lay a tax equal to 100 per' cent of the income ' of every individual, every partner ship and every corporation in the country, you are better than I am. There just isnt any limitation, which mean's that inwhatever portion of your recome you are permitted to tain is not because you have ora right to it, constitutionalis by otherwise, but ratjier courtesy of Congress. Its pretty silly, isnt it, for us to go to great lengths to establish and maintain justice through an elaborate system of municipal, state and federal courts and not have any protection at all on. any part of our incomes, : not even enoughshel-to provide food, clothing and ter for our families? When the Sixteenth Amendment was being debated on the floor of the Senate, one senator said he was against it because the tax might someday amountr to as much as three or five cent of an individuals income. jfis colleagues laughed at him for being unduly apprehensive and pointed out among rn.pi ssible for the federal government to spend that much money. Its too bad this senator isnt around today so he could other things that it would be know that his worst apprehension's on the amount of he ax were more than justified Also some of those who laughed at his fears should be around to see our federal governn ent than spending more in a month ever be would it thought they a in to it for spend possible year. Whats the answer? The answer is to pass another amendment to the Constitution, putting a top limit of 25 per cent or 30 more per cent or certainly notamount than 40 per cent on the of taxes which can be laid on incomes under the Sixteenth Amendment. What can ye do about it? We. each and every one of us, can let our congressman and both of our senators know that we want them to support such an amendment. If enough of us do this the amendment will have more than' enough votes to pass maboth houses by a jority. Personally, Im very much in favor of a graduated scale of income tax with a top limit of 25 per cent on both individuals and corporations. per-pe- The old cares and worries have passed, May the year be full of two-third- i PHILLIPS 66 STATION C.
