THIS PAPER SEEKS TO SUPPORT, MAINLY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY BY ARGUMENTS CONCERNING TAXATION, THE VIEW THAT LOCKE WAS, BY THE STANDARDS OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES, A RADICAL DEMOCRAT; HENCE TO OPPOSE THE CONTRARY VIEW THAT HE WAS AN APOLOGIST FOR CLASS RULE, SPECIFICALLY FOR A PROPERTY-BASED OLIGARCHY SUPPORTED BY A FORMAL DENIAL OF THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE TO THE POOR. THE AUTHOR EMPHASIZES THE FACT THAT IN LOCKE'S TIME POOR PEOPLE PAID CONSIDERABLE SUMS IN TAX, AND RELATES LOCKE'S DEMAND FOR TAXATION BY THE CONSENT OF A REPRESENTATIVE PARLIAMENT TO "IMPROVEMENTS," TO THE TRADITIONAL SUFFRAGE AND ITS REFORM, TO HIS IDEA OF THE RIGHTS OF THE POOR, AND FINALLY TO HIS BASIC IDEA THAT LABOR CREATES WEALTH.
