Couzens shifts to radical surtax rollback amid tax debate
Michigan Senator Couzens now backs a radical surtax cut, proposing a 20 percent maximum and elimination of taxes for incomes under 6000. The plan would cut total revenue by about 400 million dollars and lift about three hundred thousand taxpayers from tax liability. He argues broad participation is needed for economical governance and supports tariff reduction alongside income tax cuts.
