Kennedy Urges Tax Cut At New York Economic Club
President Kennedy urged faster tax reductions to spur growth and future surpluses while tying cuts to curbs on federal spending. Speaking to about 3,000 business leaders at the Economic Club of New York, he avoided a date for action and promised a large enough cut to boost purchasing, production, employment, and investment, arguing deficits stem from slow growth rather than tax cuts. He criticized slow-spending supporters and said the choice is between a chronic deficit with no tax cut and a deficit with an investment in the future. Kennedy’s remarks followed a 30-minute Q A session and he cited Wilbur Mills on paired tax cuts with better control of expenditures. He spent 25 hours in New York for the event and World’s Fair pavilion groundbreaking, then headed back to Washington.
