TLS Louise V. Thorpe, 18 September 1963

Qc/2024 9/20 98 supmie a Sept. 18, 1963 22794 Calabash St Woodland Hills, Calif. 91364 President Robert Kennedy White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: I just listened to your speech on T.V. re your proposed Tax Cut. It makes good common sense. As you pointed out, by creating more employment our country will be more prosperous. One fact was not brought out in so many words: By creat- ing more employment we also create a larger revenue for the government which will be a far larger gain to the government than the loss by cutting taxes. While a lot of people, like myself, realize this will happen, the vast majority will have missed the point. The old proverb, "He couldn't see t he Forest for the Trees", may well apply to some members of our congress. From a sincerely interested citizen (namely. a Housewife) Sincerely, (mrs.) Louise V. Thorpe
