Kennedy proposes retroactive tax relief and faster hiring
President Kennedy calls for special retroactive tax relief for small businesses to spur hiring and output. He outlines a plan to cut the first $25 000 of corporate income tax to 22 percent while retaining a 52 percent top rate in 1963, arguing it quickens job creation and reduces the deficit impact. He rejects drastic spending cuts and says standby antirecession powers could be sought after the current tax overhaul, to speed tax cuts and public works in a downturn.
