Practical Revenue Sharing (7)
Help wanted, all ages! To assist our master plan in keeping
employment at full level, we now disclose a formula for
equalizing the competition in private enterprise. This formula
renders it profitable for employers to hire people in any age
bracket, from 18 on up, without suffering loss from the ten
dency of competitors to employ mostly persons in the prime
age brackets, such as 25 - 35 years. Ever try to get a job at age
40 or over? Or at age 18?
Because our plan includes no tax differential at all, we can
not suggest tax incentives to lighten the tax load on em
ployers in recognition of the numbers they employ not in the
prime age bracket. But we can nominate a substitute, and that
is civic duty, in areas running from litter control to prisoner
rehabilitation and adult education. Let’s arrange to give
equalized weights to employees of prime age, as well as to
callow youths and to the more skilled older personnel. Based
on man hours worked in a business unit, during a quarter:
Let I = Man hours worked by ages 25 - 35 years.
II = ” ” ” ” ” 18 - 25, 35-45 yr.
11l = ” ” ” ” ” 45 -55 years.
1111 = ” ” ” ” ” over 55 years.
M = Man hours due for public service.
m = A fraction, between 0 and 1.
Then M = m(I + %II + %III)
Such a quota of man hours may be applied in areas we have
been neglecting, such as pollution control. Prisoner
rehabilitation may take on many aspects, most of them in
cluding education and training, directed toward turning out
self-sustaining and self-respecting graduates, capable of
holding a job. Some of this work may be within walls, some
outside, in work release programs. In time we may find it in
order to suspend residues of sentences early in the game.
In other areas of adult education we can broaden our
outlook and restore interest in living a fuller life. And now
that we find our jobs going obsolete on us two, three and
even four times during our lives, some added job training is
essential to avoid going on unemployment and welfare rolls.
Group 1111, over age 55, adds nothing to the assessment M,
and the factors 1/4 and 1/2 are the same everywhere, read
justable as required to keep employment balanced at all ages
(and skills). The factor m is nationwide too, and may run be
tween 1/1000 and 1/10, as set by Congress. M is not a tax, but
a tithe to civic duty, preferably an out-of-hours program,
something like recreation.
While we are on the subject of incentive taxation, much
toned down under our plan, let’s consider the excise taxes on
liquor and tobacco, which in the past have been designed to
hold down the consumption of those culprits. They haven’t
worked very well, even though extended so much as to evoke

Quick Draw
Dixon Drops
Duo
“ Why no, I didn’t take close
aim, I just used my regular
' quick draw ’ on the fox,”
said Mrs. Eddie Dixon of the
Britt Still community. Mrs.
Dixon was referring to a fox
that she killed last week with
her 22 cal. pistol.
The fox had been coming in
to the Dixon’s front yard steal
ing their near ripe per
simmons. According to Mrs.
Dixon, she knew foxes are fast
and cunning so she came out
of her house with pistol in hand
and shot the critter before he
could jump or run.
Mrs. Dixon reported that she
shot a “ Coon ” with the same
weapon a few days after the
fox episode. The “ Coon ”
was raiding the same fruit
trees.
