Reagan Says Alternatives to Tax Cut Are The Real Problem
President Reagan, recovering from a bullet wound, urged that congressional alternatives to his three year tax cut plan are not the answer. He argued taxes are too high for half measures and called for tax reductions next April 15. The White House plans a broadcast to defend the program while critics in Congress push one year cuts. The CBO warned of impacts on 20 to 24 million people, mostly low income, with some losing up to 16 percent of income, while others gain slightly.
