Reagan seeks
tax reform

WASHINGTON (UPI) - President
Reagan presented a historic tax
reform plan yesterday to cut in-
dividual and corporate tax rates and
create "an America that is bursting
with opportunity" in a new "Age of
the Entrepreneur."
"Death and taxes may be
inevitable, but unjust taxes are not,"
Reagan said ina 22-minute address to
the nation.

"America's Tax Plan" is a reduction
in tax rates that would collapse the
current set of 14 tax brackets for in-
dividuals - ranging from 11 percent
to 50 percent - to three rates of 15

The top corporate rate would drop
from 46 percent to 33 percent.
Reagan stressed the lower tax rates
come with a strengthened minimum
tax-aimed at "those individuals and
corporations who are not paying their
fair share or, for that matter, any
share."
"These abuses cannot be
tolerated," he said. "From now on ,
they shall pay a minimum tax. The
free rides are over."
For businesses, the plan would:
reduce maximum corporate tax rate

But the lull couldn't keep the smile off Frantz's face
following the pool's first weekend open. "This is the first
year we've had a decent memorial weekend," he said.
"Things haven't picked up until around mid-June the last
* few years. This has been the best year so far while I've
been here."
SATURDAY was the first day in Ann Arbor's outdoor
pools. Buhr Park, Veterans Park, and Fuller Park all
swung into action despite the rainy, then sunny, then rainy
weekend.
