$3,000 a year income level and
keeping them there.
“The rate of poverty reduction
increases in the economy’s good
years, but the opposite happens
during a recession,” he said.
Tax Cut Potent Weapon
Lampman termed the 1964 tax
cut as the most potent single
weapon in the anti poverty war.
He emphasized that through care
fully controlled government
spending, a high rate of economic
growth can be insured with little
or no accompanying inflation.
Lampman's most controversial
solutions center around his plan
to expand “transfer payments” to
close the “poverty income gap”—

Lampamn contends that "trans

curity, unemployment compensa
tion, and public assistance cater
primarily to those people, who
earn at least $3,000 a year, the
“non-poor.”

sation arc members of the non
poor class,” he said.
Lampanui said that in his plan
'transfer payments” would be ad
ministered by the federal govern
ment to equalize some of the in
equities in the present system.
Increase ‘Transfer Payments”
The best thing that came out of
the 1964 Economic Opportunities
Act is the concept that poverty is
a national and not a local or re
gional problem, Lampman said.
“There are many poor people
who do not qualify for public
assistance because they don’t
meet residence requirements.”
The average income of the poor
is $1,800 while the median income
of the non-poor is $6,500, Lamp
man continued.
Lampman also advocates a
“negative income tax to fill the
gap between the actual income of
the poor and his goal of a $3,000
income. At the moment, he ex
plained a family of four with a
$3,000 income pays no income
tax, but the same family which
earns under $3,000, also, pays no
income tax.
Lampman would pay each fam
ily with an income of $1,500 an
other $1,500 in "negative income
Tax” to push its income up to
$3,000 a year.
Expensive Program
This program would be expen
sive, at least $8 billion, but it
would also take the place of the
$4 $5 billion net now being spent
on public assistance.
