Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book captures a speech delivered in 1909 by a politician departing from his party on the issue of the day's most momentous measure â" the budget. Though painful for the author to stand in opposition to former allies, he believes the budget's principles are detrimental to the nation. The author argues the budget's measures, designed to raise money for defense spending, will instead deplete capital, on which labor depends. He maintains the proposed heavy taxes on land are calculated to bring small return while causing widespread insecurity. The author provides a lengthy argument against the proposed "super tax" on the wealthy. He concludes the budget will not benefit the poor as the government claims; instead, it will ultimately harm them by diminishing their wages. While labeled a "poor man's budget," the author believes the poor will be the ones upon whom the budget's burden ultimately falls.
