No federal tax on Democrats Jefferson-Jackson dinner
The Internal Revenue Bureau ruled no federal tax on the Democrats Jefferson-Jackson day dinner in Washington, a ban on taxing admissions at the $100 plate event as a banquet. The decision, related to similar events nationwide, followed Republicans paying a 20 percent admissions tax on their Lincoln day supper. The Jefferson-Jackson event drew about 5,000 attendees and raised $523,000 for the Democratic treasury.
