Questions on Taxes and Federal Expenditure Growth
The queries ask how taxes relate to rising federal expenditures and payrolls. They seek numbers on new federal employees since March 4, 1933, the impact on total expenditures, and the link between taxes and expanding government activities.
Government spending and taxes tied to business revival claims
The text argues that rising government expenditures force tax increases unless business and industry rapidly grow. It notes higher taxes in seven to eight years due to weak business return, cites federal employee growth, and claims about 500,000 and an added 800 million dollars in expenditures. It concludes government activity raises taxes unless business improves.
