Synopsis
Thoughtful arguments on taxes, fairness, and who pays for government
In Graft and Grab: A Government Problem, the author makes the case for a comprehensive, income-based approach to taxation. It argues that all income—from land, labor, or professional earnings—should share in supporting public services, with reforms to remove special privileges and hidden rates that favor a few.
The book frames the problem around how governments raise revenue and how tax rules can become unfair. It challenges distinctions between land and non-land incomes and calls for a uniform system that treats all incomes alike, regardless of source. It also outlines practical ideas for enforcing fair assessments and reducing the influence of privilege in taxation and public utilities.
- Learn why current tax practices can create unequal burdens among landowners, workers, and professionals.
- Explore the case for taxing incomes from all sources on a level field.
- Discover proposed mechanisms, like an arbitration board, to determine true property values.
- See arguments about government regulation, accountability, and the role of public utilities in finance.
Ideal for readers interested in historical debates over taxation, public finance, and the power of privilege in government.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early history of the Southern Pacific Railroad, a company that benefited from massive government subsidies in the 1860s. The author focuses on the railroad's unscrupulous practices, arguing that it exploited government aid, overcharged customers, and abused its monopoly power. The book also discusses the role of the media in perpetuating the company's image despite its corrupt practices. It shows how the railroad's unchecked growth led to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few powerful individuals and corporations, contributing to the economic inequality that persists today. The author concludes that the public must be vigilant in holding corporations accountable to ensure they serve the public interest, not just the interests of their executives and shareholders This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
