Identifier: CAC_CC_109_4_22_37_0007

Scope and Contents

The letter is from Mr. Eanes to Congressman James R. Jones, discussing suggestions for lowering the price of savings bonds and implementing taxes on businesses instead of increasing income taxes for employees. Eanes believes that the current tax system unfairly penalizes the poor and suggests putting taxes on businesses making over $25,000 in gross income per month. He argues that this approach would help ease inflation and prevent businesses from raising prices. Eanes also proposes taxing insurance companies and wealthy business owners to address economic issues.
