Former IRS Chief Urges Broader Tax Breaks for Poor and Middle Class
Former IRS Commissioner Mortimer Caplin told the House Ways and Means Committee that tax reform should exempt the very poor, require some tax from the very rich, and raise the standard deduction used by 57 percent of filers. He cited a 1968 proposal for a higher deduction and noted even high earners sometimes paid no tax. Caplin advocated directing relief to the middle class and ending loopholes while maintaining tax fairness.

The bill, similar to powers used since Hoover, moves to the House after Congress let the act lapse last December. Nixon urged the measure on January 30 as a cooperative executive-legislative approach.
