Endorses reform steps in tax policy and social programs
The platform backs a minimum step to force reexamination of tax preferences over three years while closing the most unjustified tax loopholes. It urges Social Security tax changes funded by payroll taxes on higher earners and general revenues, federal revenue sharing, property tax relief, and rejection of a value added tax. It also calls for deconcentrating monopolies, strengthening anti trust laws, and studying federal chartering of large firms, along with guaranteed public service jobs. Abolition of the draft is urged and the party rejects the Wallace anti-busing plank. the adopted stance keeps busing as a usable tool.
