No Income Tax Reduction Due For Another Year
Washington AP reports that a broad 1960 tax cut is unlikely as federal spending rises and tax laws grow more complex. The Ways and Means Committee nears end of five weeks of hearings with about 5,000 pages of views. Election pressure for cuts remains, but leaders expect no substantial revision next year.
