Madden outlines plan for tax slash and surplus use
Representative Madden says the government can cut taxes by at least 3 hundred fifty million dollars via a plan backed by President Coolidge. He proposes reduced surtaxes to 20 percent, elimination of inheritance and gift taxes, lower brackets possibly 1 percent at five thousand dollars income, and removal of nuisance taxes. Madden forecasts a treasury surplus of at least 873 million dollars, with continued growth and prudent economy, to fund further tax reductions and national debt payments. He cites England’s debt payments and global tax practices as context for U S plans.
