Wil Liam Proxmire handed his monthly Golden fleece award to the Treasury department for supporting a si.2 Bil lion a year tax Benefit. An aide acknowledged Congress should share in he glory. Proxmire d-wis., aimed his fire at a Law that permits americans who work and live abroad for at least 330 Days a year to exclude $70,000 of their earnings from tax. That amounts to a $25,000-a year tax free Grant to such workers. What a Nice Reward for working in London or Paris or other hardship posts favored by big multinational corporations Proxmire said in a statement announcing the award. Why did the award go to the Treasury department rather than Congress which endorsed the foreign income exclusion As recently As last year sea world employee Hurt during whale stunt san Diego a a sea world animal Trainer was seriously injured when a six ton killer whale landed on him during a show at the aquatic Park a spokeswoman said.

Stoner an outspoken White supremacist imprisoned for the bombing of a Church in Ala Bama that killed four Black girls in 1958. Sloncz who described the crusade As a White racist political organization told reporters before his speech at the hotel i go everywhere to get while peo ple to stand for their rights. Fewer than 20 people at least half of them teen agers listened to Sloncz s speech inside the hotel. Outside however physical and verbal confrontations developed Between Stoner supporters and demonstrators. The Treasury supports the continued existence of that tax preference said Bob Mauney a Proxmire aide. Every year they continue to support it although the rationale gets smaller and  Mauney conceded however that con Gress probably could have just As easily been picked to receive the award for Vot ing to renew the credit. Proxmire presents the mythical award once a month to draw attention to what he considers the most wasteful ridiculous or ironic use of taxpayers Money. The continued existence of this Loop Hole is especially ironic Given the huge Trade deficit we face Proxmire said. If economists agree on anything it is that we need to reduce the Federal fiscal Defi Cit in order to improve the Trade deficit. Yet proponents of this loophole argue that we need it in order to you guessed it reduce the Trade deficit the senator said. They contend that americans need a tax break before they will work overseas and that these Ameri cans arc better Able to sell american made  the real reason the exclusion remains in the Law has More to do with living Well than with the Trade deficit Proxmire said. Eliminating the provision would Force american executives who live handwork overseas to become lean and mean instead offal and Sassy he said. That would be difficult for them but Good for the country Proxmire said. And we could sure use that $1.2 Bil  this is not the first time Proxmire has fought the exclusion. In fact he pointed out he selected the provision for a Golden fleece in the mid-1970s, when it was Worth $20,000 a year and Cost the Treasury about $440 million. Gotcha tested a member of the people for the ethical treatment of animals demonstrates the gotcha toy gun. Animal rights groups claim the gun s manufacturer allowed safely tests that included firing pellets into the eyes of live rabbits.
