In other words. we are penalizing this worker because he is a United States citizen. and because he happens to work for the Federal Government. Can anything be more inequitable or more damaging to the morale of the workers? What incentive is there for our citizens to take these jobs when they know that standing alongside them. performing the same work. will be noncitizens who will take home more pay for doing the very same work? Bear In mind that the proposed removal of the tax exemption will hit only salaried employees. not businessmen. No American citizen may operate a business in the Canal Zone. Thus we are proposing to tax only salaries paid by the United States Government to United States citizens who are civilservice employees. The noncitizen worker alongside the American citizen will bear no tax burden. Mr. President.
