Tax cut plan aims to ease personal and corporate burden
Secretary Vinson proposed an 85 billion dollar tax reduction for individuals and businesses in 1948. He urged repeal of the 3 percent normal tax, elimination of the 85 percent excess profits tax on corporations, and sunset excises on luxury items by mid 1948, arguing the plan would cut taxes and support a recovering economy while urging restraint on overall deficits. Republicans pressed for larger across the board cuts, linking tax relief to reduced federal spending.
