Defeat the Sales Tax!

THE working people of the city of New
1 York should swarm today into the
chambers of the Board of Estimate at
City Hall and give smashing answer to
the new LaGuardia attempt to gouge
s4oOOOOOO OUT of their pay envelopes through the
most vicious of all taxes the sales tax.
There is not a moment to lose. There must be
welded at once the frmeSt broadest united front
possible of all workers, employed and unemployed,
small home owners professionals, etc. against this
outrageous swindle which chisels $4oOoOOOo from
the poorest sections of the population while the
biggest Wall street banks utilities, corporations,
landlords and employers have their millions I'M
touched.
Every working class group should act at once
to get in touch with other working class groups
for the immediate formation of a UNITED FRONT
AGAINST THE LA GUARDIA SALES TAX! Act
now! Go down to the Board of Estimated De-
mand that the Wall Street banks pay to feed the
tobess and provide unemployment insurance for all
workers!
1T is a crude fraud to say as La Guardia does,
that the proposed $4oOoo0oo sales tax is for the
relief of the jobess.
The more than one million starving jobless in
New York need the money-and much more much
more than the capitalist city government will ever
give G0eTn unless 1OICeQ Dy mass dCUlOuS
The question is where to get the money. There
are two choices One is to make the bankers, the
rich the big corporations pay out of their swollen
profits and reserves The other is to chisel it out
of the hides of the poor, the workers, the poverty
stricken, debt-burdened masses of the city.
Which class should pay-the capitalist class, the
Wall Street banks, or the working class and the
middle class? That is the issue.
And LaGuardia, together with the Democratic
do
the only choice that he would make the only choice
for which his masters, the Morgan-Rockefeller
banks, have put him where he is
He is driving ahead with his CAPITALIST CLASS
tax robbery against the WORKING CLASS
THE starving iobless need relief. They need not
only 100000 but ten times forty millions, The
entire toiling population needs unemployment and
social insurance as outlined in the Workers IN
employment Insurance Bill.
The Communist Party proposes that the funds
for these needs of the masses be taken from the
rich from the Wall Street banks.
The city pays the Morgan Rockefeller banks
$3.50 100000 every twelve months. This is nothing
but outrageous capitalist robbery of the masses to
line the Golfers of the Wall Street banks. Stop
this robbery of the masses, the Communist Party
says! Turn these funds over to the use of the I'M
employed workers and their families. Tax the RICH
levy 10 per cent capital tax on all large fortunes
in the city, make Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue
pay! Heavier taxes the rich, no taxes on the
masses and on the small home owners
La Guardias new TAX program will tear more
than $40 out of the pay envelope of every worker
in the city. 1t will fall like blow on every work.

daily necessities, food light gas etc.
The La Guarda sales tax is the most OPEN crude
and insolent robbery of the masses 1t is the most
cynical protection of the Wall Street Morgan Rookie
