This social reform must come from above, for the time is ripe for it – it is indispensable as a
pledge of peace.
The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to the detriment of the State
which in hunting after trifling is missing the big. Quite apart from this, a tax on capitalists
diminishes the growth of wealth in private hands in which we have in these days
concentrated it as a counterpoise to the government strength of the goyim – their State
finances.
A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give a much larger revenue than the
present individual or property tax, which is useful to us now for the sole reason that it excites
trouble and discontent among the goyim.
The force upon which our king will rest consists in the equilibrium and the guarantee of
peace, for the sake of which things it is indispensable that the capitalists should yield up a
portion of their incomes for the sake of the secure working of the machinery of the State.
State needs must be paid by those who will not feel the burden and have enough to take
from.
Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor man for the rich, in whom he will see a
necessary financial support for the State, will see in him the organizer of peace and well-
being since he will see that it is the rich man who is paying the necessary means to attain
these things.
In order that payers of the educated classes should not too much distress themselves over
the new payments they will have full accounts given them of the destination of those
payments, with the exception of such sums as will be appropriated for the needs of the
throne and the administrative institutions.
He who reigns will not have any properties of his own once all in the State represents his
patrimony, or else the one would be in contradiction to the other, the fact of holding private
means would destroy the right of property in the common possessions of all.
Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who will be maintained by the resources of
the State, must enter the ranks of servants of the State of must work to obtain the right of
property; the privilege of royal blood must not serve for the spoiling of the treasury.
Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject to the payment of a stamp
progressive tax. Any transfer of property, whether money of other, without evidence of
payment of this tax which will be strictly registered by names, will render the former holder
liable to pay interest on the tax from the moment of transfer of these sums up to the
discovery of his evasion or declaration of the transfer. Transfer documents must be
presented weekly at the local treasury office with notification of the name, surname and
permanent place of residence of the former and the new holder of the property.
This
transfer with register of names must begin from a definite sum which exceeds the ordinary
expenses of buying and selling of necessities, and these will be subject to payment only by
a
stamp impost of a definite percentage of the unit.
Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as these will cover the revenue of the
goyim States.
The State exchequer will have to maintain a definite complement of reserve sums, and all
that is collected above that complement must be returned into circulation. On these sums
will be organized public works.
The initiative in works of this kind, proceeding from State
sources, will bind the working class firmly to the interests of the State and to those who
reign. From these same sums also a part will be set aside as rewards of inventiveness and
productiveness.
On no account should so much as a single unit above the definite and freely estimated sums
be retained in the State treasuries, for money exist to be circulated and any kind of
stagnation of money acts ruinously on the running of the State machinery, for which it is the
lubricant; a stagnation of the lubricant may stop the regular working of the mechanism.
