Advocates Support Retail Sales Tax Over Alternatives
Henry Abrahams, secretary of the Cigarmakers' Union and former Boston School Board member, urges a low one percent retail sales tax with no exemptions. He argues taxing retailers only, not wholesalers or manufacturers, reduces evasion and keeps prices transparent for consumers. He cites tea tax lessons, warns against layered taxes, and advocates opening trade with Russia to boost revenue and jobs.
