~ a whole pay to the government
Another idea that j. the Of grea: evil ia the
idea that class Of people be taxed for the benefit
Of another class The usual form OF this idea that th.
minority be taxed for the benefit Of the majority,
that the rich be taxed for the benefit of the poor
The th is that all taxation tends equase itself upon
all the people. II does no. pay directly he
pays them indirectly in way smother and in the
md all tn. money that spent by the government i.
Psid BY all the people.
VIVA. is true OF tho national government j. also
true OF the state government The costs OF state govern
nen has been greatly increased Some Of that increa..
il necessary and legitimate But considerable par. OF
the increase is due to demand that the Civ. tn.
people something foz which tn. peop. do not expect
TO pay. and another part based upon the belief that
tax Laws be iugged in such certain people
will have 20 pay the taxes while certain other people
will get the benefits Of tn. expenditures.
