Kitchin assails tax bill as ugly steal from big profiteers
Scotland Neck North Carolina Aug 18 Representative Claude Kitchin urges House Democrats to oppose the Republican tax revision bill. He says repealing excess profits tax and replacing it with a 15 percent corporate tax would relieve large profiteering firms of at least a half billion dollars in taxes, shifting the burden to smaller, nonprofitable corporations and investors. He cites vast profits by major firms and warns it would be a fatal mistake for Democrats to back the measure.
