ALS signed “RR,” two pages, 5.5 x 8.5, no date. Letter to Mrs. Taylor, concerning Reagan's attempts to reform taxes on the federal level, in full: "Just a line to acknowledge your card. Naturally, it is your privilege to vote for whom you please, ours is a two party system, and I doubt if any of us would want to see the day when one candidate or one party would have total voter support. On the other hand, certain issues for the welfare of the people arise which call for bi-partisan support. It is difficult for me to believe that you have read or studied the proposed tax reform program. It actually does the very opposite of what you charge. Right now the lowest earners in our state pay no st[ate] inc[ome] tax, but due to property tax, they average paying 14% of their total income in local & state taxes. It is true we propose to assess a one percent income tax on those low earners but, at the same time, we reduce their property tax, which is 11% of that 14% total to 5 1/2 %. In other words, we have an income tax that runs from 0% to 10%. It will under this plan, go from 1% to 11%, while at the same time property taxes will be cut in half. Thank you for giving me the chance to comment. Some who write fail to sign their letters or give an address.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the top of each page.
