Other 'EadS Than Ours
HUMAN NATURE AND THE IN
COME. TAX

There are more than 100, 900, 900 peo-
pie in the United States, and of this
vast number only 357,515. it is said
are liable to the income tax. The rest
work with no thought of the collector.
All they have to worry about is getting
enough to eat, a place to sleep,
clothes for the family, and a few dol
lars for incidentiais. amusements, in
surance. and a rainy day. But the in
come tax comes down without mercy
on the wretched 357,5i5 who are in it's
clutches.
This is what is called in some circles
class legislation There is hardly
a millionaire in the United States who
does not feel that nothing of this sort
was intended by John Hancock and
the rest when they signed the Declare
lion of independence. 1t is contrary,
they think, to the American principle
that every man should be equal before
thtS law. nat cutdiity 10 tuSlC, IuCy
ask, about the income tax?
But the fact is that the victim of
the income tax is paying a very light
fine, indeed. for the privilege of be-
ing a beneficiary of an unequal,
though not necessarily unequitable dis
tribution of wealth, of which he high
ly, and quite naturally, approves. He
thinks hat John Hancock and his
friends intended economic inequality
Just as earnestly as they tried to avoid
legal inequality; that is, that they in
t%erpreted equality of opportunity-the
to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness"-as licensing the individ-
ual to seize on all the economic adj
vantages he could hold, whether others
suffered by it or not.
Maybe he is right. There is such a
system and it works: it. develops the
country, as the power m~onopolists say
But, putting right and wrong quite to
one side, it is of no avail to expect a
majority of more than II hundred
to be very considerable of the
of a minority of 357 ,515. 1t
simply isn't human nature.-San Fran
