ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL

In your left-hand trousers
pocket you have the sum of
so dollars. In your right-hand
pocket is another so. For a
period of time you spend en-
tirely from the left pocket,
until the so suffers alarming
depreciation. Then you be-
gin spending from the right
pocket. Would you consider
this economy and reduction Of
expenses? You certainly
would not. 1t is unimportant
whether the dollar comes from
one pocket or another, wheth-
er your left hand or your
right passes it out.
But, when tax commissions
and politicians announce a
program Of tax reduction, it
usually does precisely what
has been described above.
1t takes a dollar off the
property tax and puts another
dollar on the income tax. It
shifts burdens from an inher-
itance tax to a sales tax. It
discovers intangible taxes
supposed to lower some other
TAX, but increases the totaI
volume of tax money taken
from individuals and industry
And SO it goes.
The average tax reduction
program is a farce and misre-
