Carter's Tax Plan Draws Economic Reform Proposals
Carter's plan would standardize deductions at 2400 for singles and 2800 for married couples and aims to simplify filing with a short form. It proposes a 2 billion dollar business tax relief, potential investment tax credit changes, and a payroll-based credit. Offsets include 2 billion in 1978 spending reductions and a projected budget deficit of 70 to 76 billion, with rebates to some taxpayers and Social Security recipients. The public works section seeks 2 billion more, plus standby authority, to expand job training, aid hard-core jobless and targeted groups, and to double revenue sharing funds for job programs.
