Negative Income Taxes, Childrens' Allowances and the Family Assistance Plan-Benefits to People with Farm Earnings

Edward I. Reinsel

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1971, vol. 3, issue 1, 43-49

Abstract: Our society has demonstrated distaste for the poverty that exists in our midst and dissatisfaction with present welfare programs. Though numerous plans have been suggested, there is as yet no comprehensive measure to alleviate income problems and replace current welfare programs. Among suggested programs are various negative income tax plans, childrens' allowances and the Family Assistance Plan. The negative tax plans examined include variations from those originally proposed, but will be identified by the name of the original author whose plan they are most like. The Family Assistance Plan was outlined by President Nixon in August 1969.
