Demoractic Tax Expert Splits With President Truman
Snyder, a top Treasury tax expert, argues against the Republican Knutson Bill as the Ways and Means Committee opens the 1849 tax battle. He warns it would push the Treasury into the red and threaten fiscal stability while endorsing the President’s plan for a $40 head tax cut financed by a $3.2 billion levy on corporate profits. Rumors say Republicans may tweak the bill to win Democratic support. The measures include extending community property rules, raising exemptions from $500 to $600, and broad reductions across brackets.
