Liberal Party Taxation Broadening Tory Party
£500.00
Original antique political election propaganda poster issued by the Liberal Party - Flattening Him Out, Or Broadening the Basis of Taxation - featuring an illustration set within a red line border depicting a Conservative Tory statesman wearing a blue coat and top hat marked Tariff Reform rolling a barrel labelled Taxation over a man wearing a hat marked Working Classes lying on the ground below a yellow poster on the wall featuring a quote - If you are to give a preference to the colonies you must put a tax on food. Mr. J. Chamberlain, House of Commons, May 28th 1903 - with the rest of the text below the image - Mr. Balfour and the Tory Party want to Broaden the Basis of Taxation. This simply means, and CAN ONLY MEAN, making the poor pay more in the way of taxation. As a Tory paper said some time ago, to broaden the basis of taxation, OF COURSE, means to place A LARGER SHARE UPON THE MASSES. Printed and published by Waterlow & Sons Ltd. Horizontal. Fair condition, creasing, folded, minor tears on margins, staining, restored tears.
