O'Donnell's gift is what sticks, and it is some gift indeed: funny, touching and distinctive. This dividend is the one you frame because it's the first...
...candidates, they agree on one point: both would end the double taxation of corporate income and dividends. Carter has not explained how he would end the dual levy, but Ford has proposed phasing in a combination of dividend deductions and stockholder credits that would cost the Government $13.3 billion by 1981.
