Jepsen pushes 30 percent across the board tax cut
UPI reports Republican U S Senate candidate Roger Jepsen reiterates calls for a major tax cut and a balanced budget. He proposes a 30 percent across the board federal income tax cut to be phased in over three years. He cites pending Congress bills that would slash a family of four’s annual tax from 120 to 12 percent, and a $912 to $539 drop for a $12 500 income family.
