President Reagan is pushing for a
tax reform package that will notice
ably shift the tax burden from the
individual to the business sector, a
Merrill Lynch spokesman told a
group of business students Thurs
day.
“Tax reform will have an implica
tion on every part of life,” said Jo
seph Carson, vice president and se
nior economist specializing in tax
reform. “It may change where you
live, what occupation you want to go
into, and will definitely change the
value of your investment.”
Most American taxpayers are con
fused by the present tax system, Car-
son said, but this package is designed
with the hope that two out of three
individuals could prepare their own
tax forms.
“We want a simplified tax struc
ture whereby the common person
could understand it,” he said.
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. ^

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.
