Withholding tax urged to fund defense and curb inflation
Princeton professor Harley L. Lutz urged the Senate Finance Committee to adopt a 10 percent withholding tax on all income payments, claiming it would raise about 7 billion dollars annually with no exemptions. He warned of inflation and favored universal defense funding, while noting exemptions could be cut to bolster revenue. Senate members, led by Chairman George, weighed changes to exemptions and possible conference action, as planners eyed a total near 3.5 billion dollars. Other lawmakers discussed selective sales taxes targeting luxury goods and nuisance levies, with opposition to taxing radio advertising.
