Groups split over Reagan tax plan amid shifts in rates
Washington Critics and supporters pressed Congress to adjust the three top individual tax rates in Reagan’s overhaul. The National Taxpayers Union urged deeper cuts, while Citizens for Tax Justice sought a higher top rate for the wealthiest. Public Citizen and Common Cause urged scrapping the plan for a fresh start. The proposal would cut the top rate to 35 percent, set 25 percent for middle earners, and 15 percent for most, with changes financed by limiting deductions.
