[net.taxes] Tax Bill

jld@ulysses.UUCP (Jeff David) (08/01/86)

The August 4 issue of Fortune has an excellent discourse concerning what
is wrong with the new tax bill.  It hits the Big 4 issues, namely

		1)  The hidden 32% bracket in the Senate bill
		2)  The delay of the rate cuts 6 months after killing
		    the deductions
		3)  Killing IRA's
		4)  Pointing out that the small investor takes a much
		    bigger hit on LT Capital Gains than the rich.

The article also waxes philosophically about depreciation/corporate minimum
tax and loopholes that remain in the law.  This is recommended reading.
