Tax Bill Continues Debate on Unconstitutional Claims
A congressional debate over a proposed tax bill focuses on community property states like Texas and California. The plan would raise about 829 million dollars through graduated surtaxes starting at the first dollar of taxable income, with rates from 6 to 75 percent and major changes to corporate and excess profits taxes. The measure would make permanent the defense supertax of 10 percent and various excise taxes, including a five dollar annual use tax on cars and higher taxes on utilities and manufacturing equipment.
