Rising Taxes Not Income Will Pay for New Deal
Chicago. Robert Kratky of the Republican National Committee Taxpayers division challenges Roosevelt’s claim that tax revenue tracks national income. He notes 1935 income of 52.96 billion produced 3.89966 billion in taxes, while 1929 income of 81.03 billion yielded 3.54005 billion, implying taxes rose with political pressure. Kratky argues taxpayers paid more in 1935 than in 1929 despite lower income.
