Downey Proposes 20 Percent Levy Substituting Victory Tax
Senator Downey proposes a 20 percent compulsory savings levy on earnings over 100 dollars a month as a substitute for the victory tax in the revenue bill. He says the plan would include credits for life insurance premiums and mortgage payments and raise the exemption to 1,200 dollars yearly. The Senate plans to begin debate and set earlier daily sessions to speed action. The measure moves as the victory tax faces controversy and Downey presses a two purpose plan focusing on financing the war and curbing inflation.
