Com- ‘pared to that, Santa’sa piker, anyway. How can unemployment be cured? The answer is more ° obvious if we think oflabour as sap, As every soup munu- facturer knows, the best way to sell more soapis lo reduce the price of soap. So the best ‘way to increase the use of fabour is to cut the price of labour, too, We touched on this issue employee up to.a maximum rebate of about $2900 per. “worker. The rebate would be deducted from the firm's an-_ nual corporation income tax, payments or personal income tax payments in. the case of, : a proprietor. “The benefit ~ program ure so amazing the it’s hard’ to“imagine he tawa can! a avoid ‘adopting the’ pla ereuse ‘Gnemployment,” but the “program in: most; cases’ "would-be: better than free! Better thai free?. Yes. It works like this. The firm re- ceives, ‘for example, $2500 -. for hiring an extra worker at $10,000 a year. The cost to the government is $2500. But a couple of when we first raised the question of Employment Tax Credits (ETCs).: Basically, an ETC program would reduce taxes for any firm which increased . its work force. The reduced taxes would be equivalent to "cutting the price of labour. In. the ‘past few months, the Canadian Federation of Independent: Business, the national organization that speaks for small business, has undertaken an extensive study of ETCs, In the latter part of September, the Fede- ration proposed an ETC pro- gram to the federal govern- * ment and called for a fall budget. The ETC program pro- _. posed by the Federation pro- vides for a tax rebate of 25% of the ‘salary for every new. the. gr collects in- come taxes, unemployment * insurance premiums, and Ca- nada Pension Plan (ar. QPP) | contributions: which would amount to about a quarter ‘of. that $2500 amount.” Moreover, the newly em- ployed worker increases the: output.of the firm. ‘This ad ditional output is'taxed by the government: And; when ‘the. worker spends his wages, - part of every dollar is collec- ted in some manner of sales y faxes. ‘Add all of the savings and additional revenues together and the sum is much greater than the small amount that the government pays out in the ETC. There’s not another method of job creationwhich can come close to fighting unemployment this cheaply. While They ~ Overstocked on Typewriter Ribbons!
