THE 'ACT
7%. In most years actually less
than 7 cents of each sales
dollar.
Actually the workers -
they get 8.
The facts are - NO. Compared to
a good peace year, corporation
profits on the sales dollar went
down from 6.4 ? to 4.3 0 in the
last war.
NO. In the automobile industry,
for ample, one roan and a ma-
chine do the former wo-rk of 5
men, yet 20 times as many men
are employed. Machines well used
reduce costs and prices which
broadens markets and so provides
more jobs.
If all the salaries of the three
top men in the country's biggest
company were divided among that
company's workers, it would take
each worker in that company
about three weeks to buy one pack
of cigarettes with his increase.
Truth is that high taxes already
take so much money which should
be spent in keeping machines
modern, that 436 of America's
machines mre too old to protect
tomorrow's Jobs.
