Karl Marx
Sir, — In reply to M. T. Moore’s letter of January 21 claiming that I made a mistake and exaggerated how many people were unfortunate to live under the doomsday philosophy of Karl Marx, a man I described as one of the world’s greatest hyporcrites and chronic losers, every person who lives in a country that uses high taxes especially a heavily-progressive or graduated tax system is a victim of Marxism. This includes most of the Western countries
such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Britain and the United States. Karl Marx, the father of communism, Introduced in his Communist Manifesto the concept of graduated taxes as one of 10 steps to making the world communist. Thus any country that uses what! see as a suppressive and unfair tax-collecting method, that of graduated taxes, is one-tenth of the. way to Comrade Marx’s dream or nightmare of communism. — Yours, etc., ROBIN BOOTH. January 29, 1986.
