Wages tax criticized as heavy burden and unjust
A letter from A. G. Hate at Daking House Rawson Place Sydney criticizes the wages tax as an unjust burden kept beyond its justified time. He condemns its impact on employers and workers, argues for abolition or reduction, and contrasts civil servants' privileges with ordinary wage earners who seek relief as government aims to maintain three years of progress. He also links land value and idle land to unemployment and calls for addressing the land question.
