Hindman tells income move
"A movement has been started in the east, sponsored by the Committee for constitutional government, to amend the constitution to limit income and inheritance taxes to a maximum of 25 per cent of a person’s total income/’ stated Dr. Wilbur L. Hindman, assistant professor of political science, in an interview yesterday.
According to the proposed constitutional amendment, the only time when this 25 per cent tax limit can be exceeded is when the United States is actually at war. “Congress may set the period for relaxing the amendment,” said Dr. Hindman, “by a three-fourths vote of each house for a duration not to exceed the war’s end.”
Fifteen state legislatures have adopted the resolution to call a constitutional amendment convention, pursuant to Article 5 of the constitution. If 17 more state legislatures ratify the amendment, the convention cap be called through the two-third state majority constitutional provision.
The pros of the tax amendment are, according to Dr.
Hindman, that it would be highly desirable in the United States economic system to have private enterprise encouraged, and one of the best ways to do this would be to guarantee a non-onerous tax burden. By limiting taxes, capijal is created to advance production.
Concerning the cons, Dr. Hindman said that the government would be handicapped in raising funds in a period of emergency, if one should arise after the war. The 25 per cent income and inheritance tax limit would probably lead to the use of regressive taxes, such as the sales tax, which burdens people of a lower income bracket more than the well-to-do class.
“I would like to see income taxes reduced as mtich as possible,” cpmmented Dr. Hindman, “but it is up to the Congress after the war to decide what is feasible. The danger of the amendment is its rigidity, for if it were necessary to raise money suddenly, it would be impossible. I believe that our fiscal system should remain flexible and in the hands of the people’s representatives.”
