It is Finance, not In­dus­try, that causes all of our economic troubles. Direct Credits for Everbody is the only cure for them.

 What is your method of taxing the people to meet the cost of running the government and making Public Improvements? Is it something like the Manufacturers Sales Tax?
ANSWER:
 Direct Credits for Everybody will abolish taxes altogether. That means that there will be no taxes at all.

 Adding nothing to nothing makes interest. Adding something to something makes profit.
 The manufacturer who makes a so-called profit off of labor in reality puts his own labor, skill and plans into the product as well as the mechanic and is therefore entitled to something for his share when the complete product is marketed.
 And, just as one salesman, who puts into his work more time, skill and effort will receive more commission than another salesman who puts into his work less time, skill and effort, so the manufacturer who puts into his productive work the most time, skill and effort should receive the most profit.
 And just so with the merchant, farmer or builder, they must all receive a just reward for their constructive efforts.
 Profit is merely their reward for something they have given to benefit mankind.
