tax and spend
"Tax and spend" is a pejorative epithet applied to politicians or policies that increase the size of government.
== History ==
It appears the formulation first appeared in print in a 1938 ''New York Times'' report written by Arthur Krock, quoting President Franklin D. Roosevelt's trusted advisor Harry Hopkins, the Administrator of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a key agency of Roosevelt's New Deal program: "() met a criticism of this sinister combination by saying: 'We will spend and spend, and tax and tax, and elect and elect.'"〔Krock, Arthur. "(Win Back 10 States; Republicans Take Ohio, Wisconsin, Kansas and Massachusetts" ). ''The New York Times''. November 9, 1938, p. 4. Retrieved on May 19, 2009.〕 (According to Krock, the "sinister combination" was Roosevelt, Hopkins, United States Postmaster General James Farley, and New Jersey Democratic political boss Frank Hague.)〔
Two weeks later, Hopkins and Krock argued the point in duelling letters to the editor of ''The New York Times.'' First Hopkins flatly denied he had ever laid out the "tax, spend, elect" formulation, but Krock asserted that "I used and printed the quotation after careful verification because, while it completely into Mr. Hopkins's political philosophy as I have understood it, I wanted to be certain of the language." Krock also revealed that he had spoken with witnesses who claimed to have heard Hopkins make the comment at the Empire Race Track in Yonkers, New York, including a "reputable citizen" who was "in lighter hours, a playmate of Mr. Hopkins."〔("Letters to The Times" ). ''The New York Times''. November 24, 1938, p. 26. Retrieved on May 19, 2009.〕
