President urges tax on corporate net earnings to fund government
President supports a constitutional amendment to empower Congress to tax net earnings of corporations. The plan targets revenue of 25 to 30 million dollars with a flexible rate, likely around 3 percent, and aims to avoid an income tax on individuals. Supporters expect federal oversight to boost stock values and attract foreign capital, while critics warn it could hurt small corporations. The proposal, crafted with Attorney General Wickersham, awaits Finance Committee action and is not expected to move next Friday.
