The Townsend plan is a program
for guaranteeing full and continuing
use of all America's vast industrial
and agricultural productive capaci
ties, with thoughtful conservation of
natural
resources.
It
unplaceable
proposes to do this by creating and
maintaining an American cash mar-
ket for all the goods and services
this nation Is capable of producing.
This cash market would be created
by keeping the purchasing power of
all citizens at high level.
Briefly the Townsend Plan would
levy a 3 percent tax upon the gross
Incomes ot all Individuals, partner
ships, business concerns and corpora
tions, exempting the first $100 a
month in personal Incomes. Revenue
from such a tax would be distributed
among citizens who by virtue of age
(60), chronic illness or accident are
unemployable, and included among
citizens who shall share this distribu
tion, are mothers with dependent
children, blind and cripples.
Each cltzen to share in this distri
bution monthly, must meet two coa •
ditions: (1) they must not be gain
fully employed; (2) they shall spend
each month's installment of the an
nuity within 30 days of its receipt.
Pensions will be paid immediately
but the spending clause will not be
come operative until six months af
ter the war.
With the Townsend plan in opera
tion more than 10 percent of the
population-—aged, handicapped
and
mothers with dependent children—
will be removed from competition for
jobs.
The position they might otherwise
seek will be left open to the younger
and physically fit.
With the Townsend Plan In opera
tion the aged and handicapped will
constitute a tremendous buying mar
ket with guaranteed monthly mass
purchasing power. The demand for
goods and services thus created will
keep the factories and farms at full
production making even more Jobs
available for the young and physical
ly fit.
No one would be compelled to ac
cept or qualify for the plan annui
ties but it will be there for any one
who needs it.
