Tax Reform Platform and Keane’s Reflections 1891
The New York Tax Reform Association submits its platform advocating direct taxation with exemptions for mortgages and capital, real estate bearing the main burden, and calls for reform. Rt Rev John J Keane replies noting direct taxes should target net proceeds rather than capital, urge progressivity, exemptions for essentials, and avoid encouraging fraud or immorality.
