In Kiwanian Magazine The average man does not understand that his job depends on investors’ willingness to risk money and that taxes—which absorb capital—steal opportunity from every worker. Right now, taxes are consuming twenty-five per cent of our entire national income, and the tax share is 'increasing from year to year.

This would eliminiate the second tax which the stockholder now pays on dividends after they have once been taxed in the hands of the corpora tion. The unfortunate thing about such suggestions is that they sound like plans to pamper the rich. Actually, they are gauged to step up invest ment and employment, and thus to benefit everyone who works for a living.

It is not meas ured in the cost < of countless jobs that are cut off when the investment flow is dried up by high tax bills. This is the real welfare state. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLft “Thc Paper Everybody Reads” T in horror and said, “Why, that would be confiscation!” Confiscation or not, the federal government now takes eighty-two cents out of every dollar in the high est tax bracket. And the result is that many potential risk investors, faced with an opportunity to put their money into an uncertain young enterprise, say to themselves: “It isn’t worth it. I’ll put my money in tax-exempt government bonds in stead.” Add these instances up, and you find that high tax rates drive money out of productive enterprises into non-productive lending to govern ments. High tax rates make it eas ier for governments to borrow and harder for business to get money for expansion. And when expansion money is short, new jobs are not plentiful. But there are still those who feel that when jobs are not plentiful, free flowing, tax-paid “welfare” will correct the condition. The truth is that an overdise of government “welfare” frequently ag gravates the ill it is intended to cure. As government programs in crease, bringing tax increases, the smaller residue of income for in vestment puts an extra burden on in dustry. The best path to a sound and prog ressive economy is not bigger gov ernment spending, but a free-flowing stream of investment in the tools of industry. Thus equipped, the Amer ican people can produce welfare on to provide investment capital to em ploy more men. We have a vicious cycle whereby we are constantly cre ating greater need for welfare the more we provide it. In today’s industrial svstem, work ers must have money invested to backstop them. They must have factories, took, transportation facil ities, power and research. These are as much a part of a workman’s job as his lunch box or khaki shirt. The American standard of living rests on the use of more and better tools and equipment. An economy doesn’t improve its output per man hour by sweating the men and wom en who work. It achieves high stan dards of living by employing more equipment, using new methods, in vesting more money for every em ployee. A hundred years ago, the tools of industry cost $500 per worker. To day, the cost is conservatively es timated at $7500. So, if we are to provide for 600,000 to 700,000 new jobs per year within the next five years alone, we will need at least $26,000,000,000. If the price level rises, as it gives every indication of doing, the cost will be much more than that. And if the average cost of investment per worker increases as it has been doing, the total amount neede4 for investment over the next five years might approach $50,000,- 000,000.
