MACHINES AS TAXPAYERS
Ever since the first monarch thought up the
system of taxation to keep the wheels of govern-
ment greased, the people's enthusiasm toward
taxes has been about equal to that toward small-
pox and scarlet fever.
No one has yet devised the perfect method of tax-
ation, and no one ever will. To be perfect, it must be
painless. And taxes, in whatever form they are levied,
are never completely innocuous.
Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (Dem., Wyo.),
however, has a scheme he thinks would go a long
way toward solving unemployment and establish-
ing an equitable tax basis. Senator O'Mahoney has
it figured out like this: Men who work pay taxes.
When machines come along and replace the hu-
man workers, the jobless men are no longer able
to pay taxes. Thei*efore, tax the machines, in pro-
portion to the number of jobs they are taking away.
Regardless of what may be the fate of Senator
O'Mahoney's proposal, it must be borne in mind that
unemployment is a cancer that has eaten too deeply into
American economic life to be destroyed by mere read-
justment of. the the tax structure. No matter how
they may be disguised, taxes will have to total pre-
cisely what they add up to now, if not more. And no
matter how they may be re-arranged, they will ultimate-
ly be paid by the same people who are paying them
now.
Senator O'Mahoney would grant tax credits to
employers who used more human workers, fewer
machines. The idea would be to halt the inroads the
machine is making at the expense of employes.
Perhaps it would work in some cases, but it can
scarcely be expected to remove the scourge of unem-
ployment. The development of new machines repre-
sents progress, and you can't stop that.
It is all right to experiment with, new methods
of taxation in the hope that some day the fairest
possible system will be achieved. But 10 million
men will not get jobs by mere juggling of taxes.
Taxes will pretty well take care of themselves
when everyone has a job. When men are out of
work, the remaining taxpayers must not only as-
sume the jobless share of the burden but must ac-
tually help in providing for the unemployed.
Unemployment must be tackled from the ground
up, not from the top down. Unequitable tax burdens on
some are manifestations of unemployment, not causes.
