No General Tax Cut in 1956 Says Byrnes
Rep. Byrnes of Wisconsin predicts President Eisenhower will not seek a general 1956 tax cut. He cites fiscal prudence and a possible 1957 surplus as conditions for any future relief. Byrnes urges tax relief only if it does not increase the national debt and favors lowering the lower bracket from 20 percent before broader cuts. The article notes continued pressure for tax changes and possible corporate rate adjustments if no action is taken next year.
