OPEN
LETTER: A FAIR TAX POLICY.
There
are so many social issues suffering from lack of government financing one
hardly knows where to start. Unions have always been a vanguard for its
members. The spin-off has been the general public and particularly non-union
workers have benefitted also.
Our
nation is presently in an world-wide economic crisis of business and government
creation. There is a plethora of organizations trying to deal with today’s
problems. Governments and big business are ignoring their efforts. They see no
reason to change. All levels of government try to represent the citizens but
also without affecting profits or hurting business. It explains why income tax
is the only progressive tax of all taxation.
At
present taxation is not fair or equitable. Big business, finance organizations
and investors do not have a progressive tax; it is done by formula, hidden from
the public. A progressive business tax policy should provide governments with
sufficient money to resolve the various issues government and the people they
represent face.
Our
society has two basic classes with many divisions, an owning class and a
labouring class.
The
owning class accumulates the wealth produced by labour’s production. This
system is called capitalism. A new development after World War Two has made it
possible for laborers to produce all the production previously made by 7 or
more persons. The owning class continues to use its power over government to
reduce labour cost and keep the greater portion of profits thus made.
The
time has come for a revolutionary change to a new system that takes ownership
power into the hands of those who labour.
