State Tax Reduction
Gov. Pete Wilson has proposed a 15% reduction in California income taxes (Jan. 11). Probably such a reduction would really benefit only about 10% of our citizens.
I suggest a reduction for the California state sales tax, now 7.25%, instead of income taxes. This would benefit all of our millions of citizens.
Very likely it would give them more funds to use for additional purchases and help business sales.
