For individuals, tax margins would be condensed into three grad uating levels, depending upon per sonal income: 15, 25, and 35 per cent, he said. Right now those in the top tax bracket put out 50 percent of their income. Deductions on interest and mortgage payments would also be eliminated. “People that don’t own homes and don’t have a lot of expenses would be the winners,” Carson said of the effects of the proposed tax reform. By condensing the tax brackets, 60 E ercent of Americans would pay :ss, 10 percent would pay more and 20 percent would experience no change. Americans don’t save enough of their money, Carson added, and this tax reform would make saving more attractive, decreasing our depen dence on foreign capital from such nations as Japan. ^ TEXAS’ ORIGINAL DRIVE-THRU DAIQUIRI FACTORY FROZEN COOLERS -FLAVORS- The new plan would eliminate de ductions of state and local taxes, he said, a prospect that has New York Gov. Mario Cuomo up in arms and public school districts concerned. Texans, who pay no state taxes, will reap the benefits of owning a smaller share of the federal tax load. “The business sector would pay 25 percent more in taxes each year through 1990,” Carson said, adding that most of that will come from the manufacturing sector. Because man ufacturing industries already are in financial straits, Carson is concerned about the effects from this aspect of reform.
