New Tax Plan Would Take 10 Cents More From Each Dollar
Treasury proposes a plan to raise income taxes by about ten cents per dollar, offset by a 13 cent postwar refund. It would widen all brackets, with a 100 percent surge in the first bracket surtax and a 40 percent postwar refund, aiming for $8.0 billion of the $12.0 billion 1944 revenue. If Roosevelt rejects it, an alternative may push Social Security taxes higher.
