DEMOCRATS HIT
REAGAN TAX CUTS
?-L
YOONC QEWOCKATS
Congressman Rom addressing N.C.
Young Democrats at the "Downeaster"
Democratic Rally.
WILMINGTON-The President of the
North Carolina Democrats, Gary Bartlett
of Goldsboro, today criticized the Reagan
Administration's tax cut proposal as
being geared to the wealthy and ignoring
those who rve^, tax, relief the most,
young farmers, small businessmen and
factory workers who are trying to make
ends meet.
Bartlett said that the Reagan taxs cut
proposal was a true masterpiece of
political deception. "Mr. Reagan has
said that the American people expect and
deserve a tax cut," Bartlett said, "but
Ins efforts represent a windfall for those *
, aver $50,000 and give little
relief to those Americans who really need
a tax cut, the great American middle
class."
The Democratic proposal is more
oriented to the individual making under
$50,000, and that is where the bulk of
North Carolinians are in respects to
personal income, according to a Demo
cratic spokesman.
Under the Reagan plan a person
making $200,000 would receive a tax cut
pf over $12,000; under the Democratic
plan that same person would receive just
over $4,000. The Democratic plan gives
the two earner family with an income of
$35,000 a tax cut of $1,013, more than
$300 more than the Reagan proposal.
"The Democratic plan." Bartlett as
serted, "would help those Americans
who really need tax relief and would not
"'bt a windfall for the rich and well-to
do."
Bartlett's comments were issued at an
Executive Committee meeting of the
North Carolina Young Democrats, which
has a membership of over 4,000, during
the Downeaster Democratic Rally held in
Wilmington.
