Suggestions for a General Equalization of the Land Tax: And the Abolition of the Income and Real Property Taxes, and the Malt Duty (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Suggestions for a General Equalization of the Land Tax: And the Abolition of the Income and Real Property Taxes, and the Malt DutyA proposition for sweeping away several millions of direct taxes, without imposing any immediate burthen in lieu of them, must, in the present deficient state of the Revenue, appear to partake so much of the preposterous, that the writer will not be surprised if many, who might be disposed to pay some attention to his suggestions on abstract points connected with the subject of the following pages, should turn away with a smile from a production that will be considered by them as affording only a proof of presumptuous vanity. He deems it right, therefore, to assure those who may have the patience to become his readers, that he has not laid before them a single conclusion which is not supported by facts, nor submitted a single calculation that is not demonstrated by figures.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
