TAXES TAKE THE TOOLS
By AUSTIN H. KIPMNGER. 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
means that one dollar in every four

The unfortunate thing about such

plans to pamper the rich. Actually,
they are gauged to step up invest

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.
