Copeland Seeks Bold U.S. Tax Cut Plan
Senator Royal Copeland of New York urges a $500 million annual tax cut across the board. He proposes lowering the top surtax from 40% to 10%, repealing the inheritance tax, wiping out nuisance taxes, and raising exemptions to $5,000 so no one earning that amount pays federal income tax. He argues debt retirement should shift toward future generations and limits current tax revenue to government operating costs.
