The piece argues the tax code could force religious groups to conform to government will, using Bob Jones University to illustrate broader risks. It notes the university is church related, funded by donations, limited government aid, and admits Black students. It warns of implications for other faiths and anti discrimination principles.
The Reagan administration proposed withholding 5 percent of taxes on interest and dividends to boost revenue, a plan critics say adds heavy paperwork for banks and savings institutions. Treasury Secretary Regan claims it would raise 2 billion dollars and deter tax cheating, though skeptics accuse the figure of being fictitious and call for compliance without new withholding.

Reagan’s fiscal 1983 budget, presented to Congress, outlines about 30 billion dollars in entitlements and nondefense cuts, with deficits forecast at 96 to 109 billion for the current year and rising to 152 billion in 1983 and 162 billion in 1984 if Congress rejects cuts and tax changes. It contemplates earning revenue via higher excise taxes on tobacco, alcohol, possibly gas, and tighter company tax rules while keeping 24 percent marginal rate cuts for now. The plan faces a tight 1982 schedule with a short session and looming primary elections, clouding timely approval.
