Practical Revenue Sharing (8)
Private enterprise has left a vacuum, in its failure to
provide full employment. We have pushed government in to
fill this void, and it has not proved fully equal to the job, in
the areas of taxation and of coordinating private enterprise.
Nevertheless, our master plan offers remedies that can work.
Transition of necessity must be piecemeal, but by skillful han
dling we can achieve it. As long as we need tax reform, let’s
make the most of it. Full employment is not to be scorned,
and our plan puts the economy back into the hands of private
enterprise, where it belongs. Government shines at collecting
taxes, and we leave to it that task. Taxes keep money in cir
culation, and thus ensure employment.
A corporate structure of government would be in order,
consolidated to parallel our plan. This would be headed by a
president, assisted by four vice presidents, each supervising
four assistants, and so on. In 15 levels, from the voters at the
first level, to the president at the top, it involves everyone of
voting age. About half of this organization will be in the work
force, 1/7 of which will be working in the executive,
legislative and judicial departments, the other 6/7 manning
an autonomous sector in private enterprise, as it does now.
The elected officials in that 1/7 can be responsible to the
electorate, but not on a dismissal basis. If unseated by the
voters, they get transferred to lower jobs, in which they must
serve a full term. (No copouts!) All political parties get to
play at “Ins” and “Outs.”
An executive at the eighth level in the private sector would
carry credentials in management suitable for an eighth level
office in government. He could even aspire to election to a
ninth level office, a promotion!
Campaign funds, abolished, require candidates to come up
with newsworthy ideas. The news media will do the rest. No
need to price public office out of reach, thus to menace its in
tegrity with contributors expecting handouts.
Thomas Jefferson used to contend that we should phase in
a new constitution every 20 years to stay up to date. But in
spite of amendments, we are way behind. Study groups essay
new constitutions from time to time, but these should con
sider not only the governmental triad in the public sector, but
the private sector, too. The preservation of separate,
cooperating identities is a must, with a good degree of
autonomy in each segment. The monolithic Iron Curtain state
is not the answer. The assignment is one never envisioned by
the Founding Fathers.
We have shown how our present loose coupled systems,
both in government and in business, straining to guard in
dependence, have allowed small leverages to build up into
frightening monsters. That 3 per cent imbalance of prices and
taxes throughout 55 years has netted us pain and poverty,
unemployment and inflation, to say nothing of mounting
pollution and delinquency and crime, topped off with a
national debt close to SSOO billion,over half ofayear’s earn
ings. On the other hand, we have shown how a meagre sur
plus of 0.7 per cent in taxes could manage to glut us with
prosperity.
Although we must leave the corporate reshuffle for the
future, we can accept the measured program proposed to
retire the national debt that currently devours 2.4 per cent of
our income in interest charges, and prevents a tax cut of 6 per
cent to an overall rate of 37.2 per cent. Although the interest
on the debt is not a total loss, it does cramp our spending,
and it is a price we must pay for our egregious delusion that
we could not “afford” to pay our bills in full. (More next
time.)
