what of an amateur mathematician
and knowing that Federal and State
taxes absorb between 80 per cent
and 90 per cent of the corporate |
profit, I am wondering how a flrmi
could possibly make 53 per cent.
Clearly it is a mathematical impos- j
sibility under the present tax struc
ture for arty firm having an Invested
capital of even ten per cent of its
annual sales. It is not impossible if
the corporation consists merely of a
couple of desks and chairs in a
rented room of a city building and
with the main stock in trade being a
favorable connection with some
agency able to dispense war con-:
tracts which can be sub-let to man
ufacturing concerns looking for such
work.
The truth of the matter Is that man
ufacturing plants having the normal
investment per worker hired, may be
making five per cent or less on their
Invested capital after taxes are paid.
They are not able to build up ade
quate funds to carry them over a
slack period after the war.
The
uble Democratic Senator George,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee, Is well aware of thia fact and
Is deeply concerned. He fears that
the present tax structure will dis
able very large numbers of the small;
er corporations and will leave the field
open to only the ^arge and amply fi
nanced concerns. He has stated that
he favors a large tax refund to cor
porations for a post-war back-log
which will Insure private jobs for re
turning soldiers and sailors.
He
probably will come forward with a
bill to that effect when the next tax
legislation is up for passage.
It Is the controversy between those
favoring State Socialism and those
favoring private enterprise. If the
State is to operate most businesses,
a post-war back-log for corporations
will not be necessary. If private
enterprise Is to be restored then such
a back-log will be necesary. The
