Taxation of Government Securities debated by National Economy League
The National Economy League backs taxing government bonds as a revenue source and curb on excess spending. It argues that tax exemptions shield large wealth from real estate taxes and would pressure lawmakers to curb lavish public outlays. The bulletin says such tax would be a forward looking permanent control of high government costs.
