Record Tax Totals Show Peak Federal and State Revenues
The fiscal year ending June 30 saw federal tax receipts surpass 50.445 billion dollars, up nearly 90 percent and over 11 billion from the prior year, with all 46 states reporting higher taxes. State collections reached 8.932 billion, up 13 percent, reflecting inflation and higher levies. Six states led taxpaying, contributing over half of federal taxes. The piece notes forthcoming tax increases due to a revenue bill and contrasts with Britain’s Conservative platform urging more production and higher wages to revive wealth creation. It also reports on the Calvary Methodist Leaders Bible Class gathering with prayer, songs, and guest Korean veterans.
