HOW is THAT?
Just spend 2 cents for a post
card and take about 2 minutes to
write to each Of your Senators, ask
ink them to support the proposal
to increase personal income-tax ex-
emptions form 5000 to $500 this
year (and to $1,000 next year,
Such an increase would mean
that the average wage-earner (sup-
porting a family of four) would
save $160 per year, or over $500
per week - or over 71a cents per
hour in take-home pay. This is
equal to a 91a cent wage increase.
&c + 2 Minutes = 91ac Per Hour
It certainly does make sense.
With increasing unemployment and
short work weeks, this country
needs more customers and that
means more purchasing power in
the hards of people. Higher tax
exemptions will do precisely that.
It makes lots more sense than Civ
ing additional tax bonanzas to the
corporations and stockholders -
which is what the Administration
is urging.
Don't Delay - Do 1t Today -
91a cents Amt Hay"
