Painless Taxation Urges Hearst Five Percent Sales Levy
William Randolph Hearst advocates a five percent sales tax in the US Senate to raise revenue during an economic emergency. He argues it is painless, harmless, and preferable to income taxes, citing Canada’s four to five percent sales tax as a model and emphasizing increased household incomes to boost purchasing power and investment. He warns against policies that shrink incomes, claiming they depress enterprise and employment. He frames prosperity as rooted in consumer purchasing power and argues for tax policy that raises incomes rather than diminishes them.
