EDITORS COMMENTS
Postcard for the Budget League: A Call to Fairness and Social Justice in Finances (circa 1909) This evocative postcard, produced by the Budget League, champions the cause for progressive taxation and social welfare, as championed by the Peoples Budget introduced by David Lloyd George. Headed by the renowned statesman Winston Churchill, the Budget League aimed to rally public support for the financial reforms that would challenge the status quo and redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. The image on this postcard, with its powerful message, "Tax the Loafer - not the Loaf!", speaks volumes about the League's mission. A well-dressed man, labeled as a 'Dodger' or tax evader, is seen casually leaning against a wall, while a hardworking man, labeled as a 'Payer', is shown laboriously carrying a heavy sack labeled 'Taxes'. The caption's playful wordplay highlights the League's belief that the burden of taxation should fall on those who can afford it most, rather than the working class. The Peoples Budget, introduced in 1909, was a groundbreaking financial policy that included income tax rises, increased death duties, and a land value tax. These measures were designed to generate revenue for the government to fund old age pensions, ensuring that the most vulnerable members of society would no longer have to endure a life of poverty in their old age. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the historical struggle for financial fairness and social justice, as well as the enduring importance of progressive taxation in creating a more equitable society.
