Landgrebe introduces farewell bill By RANDY FITZGERALD The Mail-Journal's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON - Just three days before the end of the 93d Congress, conservative Rep. Earl Landgrebe, R-Valparaiso, has introduced legislation — that has absolutely no chance of passage this year — increasing the number of personal income tex exemptions. Why did a defeated congressman introduce potentially controversial legislation three days before his congressional career ends? “He just got the idea," said a legislative aide to Landgrebe. The aide said Landgrebe, who was defeated for re-election by Democrat Floyd Fithian, “is hoping someone will take the cue and re-introduce the bill next session." In effect, the proposed law would give workers “inflation deduction and credits" that would reflect increases in the cost of living. The bill would allow taxpayers to increase exemptions and standard deductions by an amount based on the yearly increase in the cost of living. The total cost to the government in tax revenues could run as high as 1.4 billion if this proposal were enacted, said a spokesman for the Washingtonbased Tax Reform Research Group. "It’s a pretty bad idea. By increasing the personal exemption, only the wealthy would gain. It should be directed solely at tax relief for middle and lower income families," said Robert Brandon, director of the public interest group. "While inflation erodes the value of personal income,” said Landgrebe, “it also erodes the value of tex exemptions and standard deductions so that the average taxpayer gives more inflated dollars to the government without increasing his own standard of living. Therefore, the only thing Miich profits from inflation is the government.”
