Jackson on the shift from income to consumption taxes since 1930, urging broader base and tax equity, closing evasion, and nonpartisan reform to prevent overreliance on sales taxes and to align state and national taxation.

The Liberty League contends that the United States is ruled by executive orders. It cites 1250 Roosevelt orders in two years, contrasts Hoover’s 600 with early presidents, and argues this signals tyranny over constitutional principles. It notes relief agencies created by order and laments modern court actions versus pre Civil War limits.
