"It increased the purchasing power of rich Americans" would be the best option from the list, since it practically eliminated the estate tax, which is how people get inheritances.

Valentino Small · Answer 2

It increased the purchasing power of rich Americans.

The Revenue Act of 1926 reduced inheritance and personal taxes and eliminated the gift tax.

The reduction of taxes aided the wealth of the richest Americans. The 1920s' presidents were economically conservative and believed by providing relief and tax cuts to the top portion of the country, they would spend more and create more jobs.
