Practical Revenue Sharing (2)
A reservoir of potential productivity now broods in the
limbo of government, hidden in the swarm of bureaucrats at
tending to the tedious details of assessment and collection of
taxes. In the private or business sector its counterpart grinds
away, chained to a monstrous mountain of tax paper work.
Over a few years our consolidated tax plan gradually releases
these two swarms for more productive work, into the business
sector. Such release, by ridding both government and
business of confusion built into our horde of duplicative
midget taxes, and its perennial dissipation of time, effort and
money, achieves a cut in costs that may well run to eventually
5 per cent. The 4 million jobs converted in the process our
plan provides for. More on that later.
A release of such size converts $45 billion/year of income
to the role of producing some $lB billion in available tax
funds, instead of prosaically absorbing both the income and
the tax revenue. A secondary gain of 5 per cent in national
productivity ensues, to raise the annual national income by
$45 billion more. We stand to wind up with:
1. Our tax cut of 1.5 per cent.
2. A boost of $0.40/hour for all wages below the $4/hour
level, tapering off to no raise at the $6/hour level, and above.
This brings our taxpayers in the lower brackets to full parity
with all the rest, both in tax and the wherewithal to pay it,
plus some extra where it will do the most good.
3. A taxfree 20 year subsidy of $167/year for each of two
dependent children, or one child per parent in a lifetime.
4. Social Security benefits still taxfree, to buy 25 per cent
more, by virtue of lower prices.
5. $7.70/week more in our pockets, after tax, on the average.
This amounts to $33 billion/year, $5 % billion from our tax
cut, $27 ’A billion from the extra income that enables our
program.
6. Prices 20 per cent lower, on the average, to make every
SI.OO worth $1.25. (The indirect levies removed formed 20
per cent of prices.) Along with the income boosts, this price
cut absorbs the impact of the 39.4 per cent income tax.
Nobody loses a cent, and everybody is better off. All this is
no miracle; we must work several years for every bit of it.
For each dependent exemption our present system saves the
lowest bracket taxpayers up to $94.50/year (14 per cent of
$675), yet favors the highest bracket with all of $473 (70 per
cent of $675). But for two children our plan renders the tax
payers around the bottom better off by up to $334/year,
tapering down to average $260/year in the $4,000 - SB,OOO
bracket. Our equalization drops the top bracket from a lop
sided “exemption” of $473 to $167 for each of two children,
but who will say they can’t “afford” it? Cut prices assuage this
loss and enhance the gains cited.
At present the “zero” taxpayer at the very bottom, ob
scured by dependent exemptions, actually pays 5.2 per cent
of his income into Social Security, while sales and other
levies augment his direct tax bill to roughly 7 per cent of his
income, to leave him $0.93 of his hard earned dollar. But
Social Security offers an excellent way of easing the financial
rigors of old age, plus insurance features for bereft children
and widows, and for disability. The Social Security con
tribution, wrapped up in the consolidated income tax and
evenly applied under our plan, loses its regressive feature and
runs 5.6 per cenfr of income, as compared with the 10.4 per
cent split between employer and employee, now taken from
the first part of income. (More next time.)
