Roosevelt proposes new corporate earnings tax plan
President Roosevelt urged Congress to adopt a graduated corporate earnings tax replacing several existing levies. The plan targets undistributed profits and aims to raise about 1.6 billion dollars, with additional windfall and processing taxes to offset Supreme Court decisions and fund the bonus and farm programs. Congress prepares a $786 million measure with accelerated hearings in the Ways and Means Committee.
