THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, August 2, 1974-13 Joseph Levin tells you where he stands. Inflation The best answer to inflation is greater productivity which increases the supply of goods and lowers prices. Congress should stimulate productivity by stimulating investment in buildings, machinery and other capital goods (through adequate depreciation schedules and investment tax credits) and by encouraging investment in education throtigh tuition tax credits. Tuition Tax Credits Hard-working middle-income families cannot afford skyrocketing college and technical school tuitions. At the same time, many independent colleges are being financially suffocated. Congress should encourage higher education and reduce inflationary pressure by providing a reasonable tax credit or tax deduction for a significant portion of the tuition paid to colleges and technical schools. Pensions I support the enactment of federal legislation to assure greater financial security for retirees. Such federal legislation should ensure early vesting of retirement rights, transferability of employees' retirement rights from one job to another, the financial stability of the plan itself, a fair rate of return on the pensions ultimately paid and rules barring discrimination against women who temporarily leave the labor force. National Health Insurance I will work for early enactment of a national health plan which will protect the savings and financial security of middle-income families and assure high-quality medical care. Welfare A clear incentive to work must be inserted into our welfare system if it is to earn the support of a majority of the American people. be-cause it would provide such a clear incentive and eliminate some of the more demeaning elements of our present costly and inefficient welfare system. Campaign Financing Reform We have learned very little from the exposure of the 1972 Nixon campaign abuses if we think that campaign abuses are confined to any one group of men or are solved by getting rid of those men. It is imperative that Congress enact a campaign financing law that requires full disclosure of every contributor and every contribution and that imposes enforceable limitations on both the amounts of campaign contributions and total campaign expenditures. Crime Congress should continue to provide material support to our local police, establish special F.B.I. task forces to root out local corruption that impedes law enforce - . meet, require federal courts to imprison professional sellers of hard drugs and require comprehensive treat-. ment of all addicted criminals before they are released. National Security All other issues will pale into insignificance if we fail to avert a worldwide nuclear war. While maintaining a strong national defense, we must actively explore every opportunity for mutual reductions of arms and secure arms controls. The United States should continue its uniquely constructive role in assisting Israel and her neighbors to move together toward a more stable peace. We must also accelerate our efforts to alleviate the problems of malnutrition, starvation and related hopelessness that historically have so often been the cause of war.
