Secretary Mellon urges tax cuts including estate tax repeal
Secretary Mellon outlined a 290 million dollar tax cut plan at House Ways and Means hearings. He proposed cutting normal income levies about a fourth and the maximum surtax to 20 percent for incomes over 160 thousand, plus repealing the estate tax and several nuisance taxes while opposing repeal of some excise taxes. He argued lower surtaxes would stimulate business and raise taxable income, emphasizing that broader tax reform should favor production and jobs.
