Income Tax Cut Plan Advanced By Robertson
Rep. Robertson of Virginia urged a sweeping 1946 tax relief plan including elimination of the 3 percent normal tax on personal incomes and the 5 percent excess profits levy on corporations. He argued the move would reduce wartime levies, maintain purchasing power, and aid those with lower incomes, while a rival Knutson plan would trim taxes across the board by 20 percent.
