(5) “We will replace stock exchanges by great _government credit institutions_, whose functions will be to tax trade paper according to government regulations. These institutions will be in such a position that they may market or buy as many as half a billion industrial shares a day.” (The reader will bear in mind that “police spies” of agricultural Russia “forged this document” in 1896. As a gentleman remarked: If this is the forgery, what must the original have been!—Ed.) “Thus all industrial undertakings will become dependent on us. You may well imagine what power that will give us.” The Protocolist now being quoted also gives his attention to taxation (observe again the “Russian police spy” doing some “forging”). The builders of this plan for World Rule recognize that when the overturn comes they will have to be in a position to offer the people something extremely good in order to win their favor. This, of course, was the plan in Russia, although Russia presents no parallel to what the Protocolists hope to do for what they call their “kingdom.” Russia was simply tortured in punishment. Russia was a passover offering. Russia is an example of Jewish vengeance, destruction, rage, not of the rule which International Jewry hopes to put over a world economically conquered through its own weakness and lust. Hear then the taxation plan: (1) “When we become rulers, our autocratic government, as a first principle of self-protection, will _avoid burdening the people with heavy taxes_. It must not forget to play the part of father and protector. But, as government organizations are costly, it is necessary to raise money for maintenance. Consequently, it is necessary to study carefully in this particular the problem of checks and balances.” (2) Kinds of taxes to be raised: (a) “The best method of taxation is to establish _a progressive tax on property_.” (b) “The receipt of _purchase money_ or an _inheritance_ will be subjected to a progressive stamp tax.” (c) “Any transfer of personal property, whether in money or other form of value....” (d) A luxury tax—“the latter will be taxed through the medium of a stamp impost.” The rich are to be taxed in proportion to their wealth: “A tax on a poor man is the seed of revolution and it is detrimental to the government which loses the big things in its pursuit of the small.” But there are other shrewd reasons for thus taxing the rich (a) “Aside from this, the tax on capitalists will _lessen the growth of wealth in private hands, where we have concentrated it at present as a counterweight to the governmental power of the Gentiles_....” (b) “Such a measure _will destroy the hatred of the poor toward the rich_, who will be regarded as the financial support of the government and the exponents of peace and prosperity. The poor will realize that the rich are paying the money necessary to attain these things.”
