Tax revision momentum gathers for next Congress
Washington reports growing momentum for federal tax revision aimed at action by the next Congress. Senator Underwood backs a flat two percent income tax and a thirteen percent surtax, with estate taxes cut to ten percent, while Senator Smoot foresees reduced car taxes and higher exemptions for small incomes. The plan suggests abolishing some federal bureaus if revenue falls short, and warns high surtax rates push capital from profitable enterprises.
