TAXATION BURDEN
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—According to the forecast of the national health insurance scheme, there appears to be the probability of another increase in taxation if the proposals are put into effect. I wonder if the Labour Government considers if there is any limit to the taxpayers' capacity or I wonder if they have even paused to consider how heavily their policy has already fallen on those who, like myself, have fixed incomes and have had no participation in the increased wages arid benefits they are so insistent on taking credit for. Their whole, concern seems to be for the improvident, and the man who has over the years striven for self-dependencs is penalised every time. Surely we are entitled to some prospect (at least) of relief from burdensome taxation which, in addition to the persistent rise in the cost of living, is making houses hold budgeting an increasing worry.Rosy promises for the future are quite nice, but too many of us are concerned with the worries of the present.—l am, etc., . , RIGEL.
