Nixon calls for tax change to aid poor and curb inflation
President Nixon asked Congress to reduce the tax burden on the very poor, impose a minimum tax on the very rich, and cut the 10 percent surcharge for middle incomes by half starting January 1. He urged repeal of the 7 percent investment tax credit to curb inflation, proposing a low income allowance to remove over 2 million low income families from the tax rolls and noting some high earners pay no tax due to loopholes. He suggested extending the surcharge until January 1, 1970, while planning to reduce it to 5 percent, with potential elimination of the surtax if conditions permit.
