On the other hand, I am ap palled that President Reagan has proposed a system of tui tion tax credits which would in effect dismantle one of the most successful, democratic educational systems that the world has ever known. Adop tion of this federal legislation would constitute one of the most dangerous, yet subtle, attacks on our democracy since its creation. Ultimately, President Reagan’s plan would create a caste system in our country based on socio economic status -a vicious segregation of staggering pro portions. I and my colleagues stand unalterably opposed to President Reagan on this issue.” 4j*altk SJniatanca Tax Opposed HARTFORD, Conn.— President Reagan’s plan to tax workers’ health insurance benefits would be an ineffec tive cost containment measure and would place a heavy tax burden on low and middle income workers, ac cording to Aetna Life ft Casualty, one of the nation’s largest health insurers.
