Show -COMMENTS- START SAVING There is no longer any way of loading the tax bill "onto the other fellow." It is;now in the lap of every family in the land. Taxes come ahead of all family bills. The American family will have to learn to economize as never before. A single person with an income of $100 a month will pay the Federal government approximately $175 in 1943, and this does not include any state income tax, property tax or, 'excise taxes. A single person earning $15 a week, with no dependents, will pay some $56 Federal taxes, not counting other taxes. We will have to go without a lot of things hereafter to acumulate tax money. As we scrimp to meet our obligations, obliga-tions, we will take increasing interest in seeing that city, county, state and Federal governments also economize ; that frills and furbelows in government are eliminated for the duration, and for a long time thereafter. m |
