Taft Opposes Income Tax Cut Before July Amid Paycheck Hold
Senator Taft of Ohio blocks an immediate income tax reduction as House Republicans push for a quick cut. He says taxes should stay at current levels until the new fiscal year starts July 1, with rebates for early filers possible later. The stance clashes with Knutson’s plan to rush a tax bill through.

Taft Warns Tax Cuts May Widen Government Deficit
Taft said a 20 percent tax cut retroactive to Jan 1 would add more than 1.25 billion to the deficit for the year ending June 30. He argued Congress may not act until late May or June and warned a presidential veto could slow or deter any tax relief. He noted budget cuts after July 1 could create room to reduce taxes.
