Byrd’s anti tax and school integration stance shapes Dixie politics
Senator Byrd remains a dominant force in Virginia and the South, opposing key measures of the New Deal and Fair Deal while steering tax and investment credits battles. He argues withholding taxes on dividends is unworkable and opposes an eight percent investment credit, citing his Berryville plant investments and aligning with some economists against broad subsidies.
