Poor Pay Heaviest Taxed Under Dingley Tariff
The 1938 discussion notes that tariffs fall hardest on the poor and middle class. It argues duties on staple goods raise costs for everyday necessities, while wealthier households pay a smaller share of income in tax due to price differences. Examples include gloves, clothing, and household items taxed at higher percentages for cheaper goods, whereas expensive items are taxed less pro rata. The piece contends that ad valorem taxation would be fairer than quantity-based duties, which predominantly burden lower-income shoppers.
