Gingrich: Slash Top
Capital Gains Tax
Rate

By Eric Pianin

Thursday, June 25, 1998; Page A04

House Speaker Newt Gingrich
(R-Ga.) yesterday presented a
potentially costly plan to slash the top
capital gains tax rate on investors for
the second time in two years, even as
his party frets over how to pay for
another election-year promise of
major tax relief for married couples.

~~
Speaking at a large GOP gathering resembling a cross
between a college economics lecture and a political pep rally,
Gingrich said another reduction in the capital gains tax rate
would "supercharge" an already muscular American economy
and unleash a tidal wave of untapped capital gains that would
run up government revenue and more than offset the cost of
the tax cut.

Congress last year reduced the maximum capital gains rate
from 28 percent to 20 percent. Under Gingrich's plan - to be
offered in September as part of a GOP tax package - the top
rate would be further reduced to 15 percent while the rate for
lower-income investors would be cut from 10 percent to 7.5
percent.

Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) indicated he will
introduce a similar bill after the July 4 recess. But White
House officials, Hill Democrats and some congressional
budget and tax analysts took a dim view of Gingrich's
proposal.
