For obvious political reasons, the present congressman, Mr, Ullman has withdrawn his new tax proposal, the Value Added Tax (VAT) tor this year Although he renamed it this year as The Tax Restructuring Act of 1980. it is the same scheme that the "Number One Tax Writer" in Congress (this title by his own admission) has been pushing lor two years, to make law. It is still a National Sales Tax (which he calls a "Consumption Tax") that is based on the mistaken attitude that a hidden tax on you and I, the consumer, will stop inflation. We ail know that big government deficit spending is the foremost cause of soaring inflation. Yet, it is the taxpayers who again will be the victims of further government-caused inflation should this penalizing tax ever be enacted The elderly and low income groups would be especially over burdened by this tax Mr Ullman's tax scheme would cost $1 15 billion the first year. When you consider our overall tax burden has doubled in the past four years, we don't need this new tax. This sales tax would also require more tax dollars (or a sizeable portion of the $1 15 billion collected) to administer handling of the estimated 15 million monthly returns. Thus the crea tion of another bureaucracy. We do not need new taxes. Instead we need a drastic reduction in domestic government spending; we need a re ordering of priorities that will increase our defense outlays; we need tax reform; we need a tax cut of $30 billion over a three year period (Kemp-Roth Bill); and we need a Congress that will balance the national budget. For nearly a quatter of a century, Mr. Ullman has been a member of Congress. He has proven that he cannot or will not work toward these ends i.e., economic stability. His deci sion not to hold hearings on VAT during this election year is politically motivated and does not mean he has abandoned this outrageous tax scheme. If he is returned to Washington it again will be business as usual and VAT will reappear on the legislative calendar next year. Let's retire VAT permanently by electing a new congressman, Denny Smith. Denny Smith is a fresh new face on the Oregon political scene. He offers innovative ideas and a new approach to solving the problems confronting us all. When one considers the per formance of the incumbent over the past 24 years, it is time for a change. Denny Smith has demonstrated his ability, his leadership, and his sensitivity to the needs and hopes of Oregonians. He is a man of and for Oregon. He has proven his worth as a businessman. When he became president of his family's company (Eagle Newspapers, Inc.) 12 years ago, there were but three company businesses in Oregon. Today, there are 16 centers of business two of which are in Washington state. Together they employ more than 300 people and generate annual sales of $8 million. We need men and women in the Congress who know as much about earning a living and meeting a payroll as they do about spending tax dollars. Unlike the incumbent, Denny Smith believes in free enterprise. He believes that the rewards in life are derived from hard work. He believes that by cutting your income taxes we can restore the incentive to produce more. How can we expect to increase production when our own government penalizes incentive? Denny Smith has the background experience that is needed to help solve the economic problems confronting our nation. He possesses the leadership qualities necessary to be an effective representative for the people of Oregon's 2nd Congressional District.
