Irony in Nebraska tax changes affects the little guy
The 1967 Nebraska tax law combines a sales tax with a highly progressive income tax. The paper notes the 1965 plan was not progressive and would hit low income earners hardest, while leading lawmakers and business figures may end up paying more under 1967. The irony lies in the small taxpayer benefiting from the change. The piece cites Marvin Verve and Richard L. Herman as figures opposing the 1965 plan and hints they may pay more under the new law.
