Taxes and the tax plans candidates won’t spell out
The piece argues Mondale would raise income taxes and Reagan would pursue a simplified tax with a value added tax, both likely to require further tax reforms to balance the deficit. It notes deficits rising from 2.7 percent of GNP in 1981 to projected 5.3 percent in 1985 and 6.3 by 1989, blaming continued borrowing and urging spending cuts alongside broader tax actions.
