Miller seeks tax breaks for business to curb inflation
Federal Reserve Chairman G William Miller urged Congress to grant broader business tax cuts to spur investment and restrain prices. He proposed raising business share of the House $16.3 billion cut to one third and favoring accelerated depreciation to encourage rapid capital formation, noting sluggish investment hurts productivity and wage growth. Miller, testifying before the Senate Finance Committee, called for a 1979 tax cut of $15 billion to $20 billion to offset inflation and higher Social Security taxes. Investors could benefit from faster depreciation, increasing after the plant and equipment are in place.
