Conscription of Wealth to Pay for the War
Senator La Follette urged conscripting wealth to fund the war, proposing higher war profit and income taxes. He argued governments demand wartime sacrifices while many seek peace, noting protests by draft-affected men and inflationary bond issues driven by wealthy interests. He criticized the liberty loan as backed by coercive power and warned wealth bears less tax, while the poor shoulder more.
