Iowa Editor's Take on the Revenue Bill of 1985
An Iowa editor critiques the Revenue Bill of 1985 as a soak-the-rich measure, arguing 79 percent income tax in peacetime and a 90 percent estate tax would force government ownership of estates like Ford. He notes congressional votes from Utterback, Gillette, Gilchrist, Gwynn, Thurston, Wearin, Biermann, and absent members, and warns such taxes depress capital, employment, and prosperity. The piece also contrasts defense thoughts, noting Fort Story near Chesapeake Bay and naval fortifications.
