At present, unearned income is taxed at a maximum 70%, vs. earned income's 50% limit. Ture figures that the two-stack plan would promote the Administration's goal of spurring...
Though Reagan seems to be progress ing nicely, controversy continues over the seriousness of his condition when he entered George Washington University Hospital. Some witnesses paint a grim pic ture: the President was stumbling, gasp ing for air, blood stained his teeth and lips, and most serious, his blood pressure was very low, a sign of impending shock...
