Carter advisers favor tax breaks to boost economy
President elect Carter nears consensus with staff big business and labor calling for tax cuts to spur growth. A 15 member corporate group urged a $15 billion tax cut plus a $3 billion rise in investment tax credits and a $5 billion jobs program targeting youth welfare recipients and the long term unemployed. The plan would mostly aid workers earning under $20,000, about 72 percent of the total cut, and aims to offset inflation driven tax hikes since 1972.
