Roosevelt backs 10 percent super tax for defense funding
Washington reports President Roosevelt supports a 10 percent “super-tax” on income to fund emergency national defense costs. The plan, still uncertain, could be retroactive to 1939 and 1940 income. Officials say Congress would need to initiate proposals through Ways and Means and Sen finance committees. The aim is a $60 million revenue boost while preserving consumer purchasing power. Treasury experts note challenges in applying a 10 percent surcharge to high bracket incomes and multi millionaires.
