1T WAS A MERRY TUNE

For years we have heard politicians figurativey, if not
literally, crate from the nearest soap box in behalf of the little
man, the average man, the underprivledged man, or some other
fictitious character. Such lachrymose Orations generally wind
up with pleas for another billion or two of government money
and inevitably urge a benevolent in crease in the size of govern
ment a few more boards and bureaus.
1t is interesting to note the path down which this kind of
demogogurey is leading the little people, which means practical
ly all of us. The point has now been reached where those with
net income of less than $4,000 a year make up SO per cent
of all income taxpayers in the United States, and they pay the
treasury $1O,137, 600, 900 a year, or So per cent of total revenue
from taxes on individual incomes. People with net incomes of
more than $4,000 a year make up only a per cent of taxpayers
and account for AZ per cent of the take from personal income
taxes.
Federal spending has reached the stage-30 to 40 billions
a year-where if all the income retained by the erich" after.
present tax payments, were seized, it would not make a notice
able dent in the tax burden. AS one analyst has very mOdesty
summed up the problem: Congress, therefore, is having to
face the hard fact that it takes a broad taxpayer base to sup
port high-cost government"
