Tax Bill Toughens as Senate Backs Higher Revenue
The Senate approves a tax bill to raise about 3.584 billion and expand taxation into new income levels. Exemptions drop to 1500 for married filers and 750 for singles, with high surtaxes and 60 percent on excess profits over 500,000. Corporate taxes rise via new surcharges and excess profits taxed at 35 to 60 percent. Nuisance taxes apply to autos, wine, liquor, phones, theatre, radios, and more. Armament spending looms as a larger burden. The public faces tighter installment credit rules and reduced consumer buying power.
