Kennedy Proposes Tax Changes Aim to Cut Most Consumers’ Rates
President Kennedy's plan would shift 6.5 million taxpayers from itemized deductions to a standard 10 percent deduction, reducing taxes for many but dampening the value for some. The reform would raise a minimum standard deduction to $900 for singles and $1,500 for married couples, with full effect not until 1965 and only if Congress approves.

Kennedy Urges First Step In Cutting Tax
President Kennedy outlined a three year tax cut plan aimed at stimulating the economy. The plan would cut individual rates to a 14 65 percent range and reduce the corporate rate from 52 to 47 percent by 1967. It would introduce new deductions for families and caregivers while limiting some existing credits for seniors. The proposal seeks quick action, but faces opposition in Congress over deficits and repeals.
