Nixon calls Congress to return federal revenues to states

He proposes a starter of 500 million in federal tax money to share to ease budget strains and shift fiscal power from Washington to the people. The plan ties funds to a percentage of personal taxable income, starting at one third of 1 percent for mid 1971, rising later to a constant figure, and allocates funds by state population and revenue effort.
