Stafford Predicts Tax Hike in Coming Congress
Vermont's Rep. Robert T. Stafford told Bennington Rotary Club that the next Congress will likely seek a tax increase of about 612 billion dollars on corporate and personal income to slow inflation. He warned of a wartime footing with wage and price controls if inflation persists, and predicted 9 to 15 billion dollars more for Vietnam war funding this fiscal year. He also noted the Defense Department’s need to reprogram funds and called the 89th Congress highly productive while blaming 1966’s slower pace on the Great Society’s tougher measures, war, and other factors.
