Are You Really Better Off Since 1941 in California
The Tex Digest notes Californians in 1949 had a per capita income of 1700 before taxes, but after taxes fell to about 775 in real terms due to living cost increases. Despite higher nominal income, after-tax purchasing power was 7.9 percent lower than in 1941, suggesting most Americans were not better off. The piece cites wars and defense spending as drivers, while calling for economy and efficiency and warning that any claimed savings are uncertain “straws in the wind.”
