Green St. Phone 385-5500 TAX FAQS Maurice W. Scott, executive secretary, Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois, has called attention to the fact that "inflation acts as a heavy tax on the unsuspecting taxpayer whose money income is increasing." He noted that as prices and wages go up, families land in higher tax brackets, but usually have less purchasing power. The Federation recalled that the consumer price index set a new record in February, so you paid $128.60 that month to buy a typical assortment of goods and services which cost you only S100 in 1947 - 1949. Scott quoted "from a study just completed by Tax Foundations, Inc., a federal research organization with which the federation is associated, that indicates that while the total money income of an average production worker, with a wife and two children, doubled in the period 1947 - 1960. hfs income tax liability rose nearly four times in current dollars. In 1947 this worker's total money inebme was $3,031. By 1960. it had risen to $5,620. Thus, says the foundation, his money income increased $2,- 589, or about 85 per cent over 1947. But meanwhile his income tax liability increased from $133.32 in 1947 to $531.60 in 1960. a jump of almost $400, or 284 per cent, because he had gone into a higher tax bracket. The reason is not that tax rates rose significantly. The first bracket rate, 20 per cent in 1947, is still 20 ]X?r cent today (and was in 1960K But because exemptions under the income tax do not go up with inflation, a much larger part of his income became subject to the first bracket rate. "Inflation," Scott concluded, "is not 'creeping', as some authorities say, but will surelv be 'running', if the federal govej^iment continues to spend beyond its income." The favorite argument for bigger and bigger government, at all levels, federal state and local, is that government must keep up with the rapid growth in population, the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois reports. This argument,, that government must spend more and more, has become louder in recent months. However, the converse of this is true; the fact is that government has grown faster than population. In all honesty, there have been good and valid reasons for some of this g r o w t h, but that doesn't change the fact which is proved by the per capita tax take by all the governments which regularly is reported by the U. S. Census Bureau. As tabulated by this reliable bureau, the total per capita tax levy by all levels of government in 1902 was $17.34 (cost of federal, state and local governments divided by the number of people in the country >. By 1932, governments had picked up in the race and grown so much faster than the population that the per capita take was up to $64.40, nearly four times higher than 1902. This, however, was just the beginning. In «1959, the per capita was $564.94. almost thiiiv-three tim^s what each man, woman and child contributed in 1902. O course, we know that today is not 1902. The cost ,of d e f e n s e , f o r e x a m p l e , h a f c ^ grown tremendously as a result of hot and cold wars and the necessity of preparedness. But if we eliminated all our major security costs entirely (including foreign, aid> the per capita tax levy would still be more than eighteen times what it was in 1902. Nobody in his right mind believes that we could get along on a per capita levy of $17.34, even without defense problems. But it isn't just a question of catching up with the population,' because if all levels of government now would hold permanently at present tax levels, we would need a population of approximately 6 billion to get thelper capita tax rate down to what it was only sixty years ago. This obviously isn't desirable, but the comparison is worth remembering when we hear it said that government has been "lagging" in its spending, and the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois reiterates that per capita spending has grown faster than population growth.
