Five Per Cent Wage Tax To Finance British Aid Program
Congressional fiscal experts weigh a 5 percent earned income tax on most workers to fund the $7 billion British aid program. A $40 weekly earner would net $38 after tax, with lower earners potentially exempted. Potential $3.5 billion annual raise would require offsetting taxes on investments and rents to avoid wage discrimination. Critics fear wage-earner burden and possible policy shift away from tax relief. Senate Finance Chairman Harrison doubts broad new levies will pass.
