Poor Man Tax Debate Moves New York
Eli Perkins reports a New York City tax office visit by a poor carpenter and his plumber to challenge claims that taxes fall mainly on the rich. The clerk asserts most taxes go to public services benefiting the nonproperty owners, while the rich pay little direct tax until they own real estate. The piece contrasts European tariffs with American taxes and notes Democrats’ reaction as debates on tariff and tax fairness unfold amid promotions by DeJongh's millinery shop.
