Income Transfers, Taxes, and the Poor.
Bentley, Susan
Rural Development Perspectives, v3 n2 p30-33 Feb 1987
In spite of government transfer programs, 10 percent of the United States population remained in poverty after all transfers were made in 1983. In nonmetro areas the poverty rate was 12.8 percent. Many were working poor (taxes reduced their earnings) who will benefit from recent tax reform that lessens their tax burden. (JHZ)
