Ford warns of tax revolt unless big cuts come soon
Former President Gerald Ford told reporters in Washington that the public needs a substantial tax reduction, favoring up to 70 billion dollars over four years for middle and lower income earners. He urged spending restraints and warned that without relief for middle income people a revolt could erupt. He praised Carter’s approach on some reforms but criticized broader plans as insufficient against inflation and higher social security levies. Ford defended SALT negotiations and urged stronger public push for the Panama Canal treaty while criticizing a GOP fundraising letter over the treaty.
