Reagan tax plan a needed full proposal says Kilpatrick
Kilpatrick argues that Congress must accept most of President Reagan's tax bill to avoid loss of momentum. He outlines two core aims: substantial rate cuts and a multi year phased schedule to spur savings and investment, boosting revenues despite lower rates while expanding personal freedom. He notes voter sentiment favors saving and debt repayment, with higher income groups gaining larger benefits, and predicts political friction from liberals led by Speaker O'Neill as work continues before August recess.
