Texas taxation problem outlined by Governor Allred
A Texas legislature briefing shows a general fund deficit of 15 to 24 million dollars for 1938 1939 and a 5.3 million dollar need for social security related programs. Allred proposes raising revenue from natural resource and franchise taxes and taxing corporate earnings while rejecting a general sales tax. He frames it as the people’s program with echoes of an income tax idea backed by other states. Shakespeare notes mention Hamlet Judith and Susanna as twins introduced in a separate random tidbit.
