Democrats Attack Republican Tax Plan in House Hearing
Nine Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee condemned the Republican backed income tax cut as discriminatory and unsound. The bill would reduce taxes by 3.84 billion dollars with 30 percent cuts for small taxpayers and 20 percent for most others. Debate begins tomorrow with a final vote set for Thursday, while Republicans expect victory and Democrats warn of a possible Truman veto. The minority accuses the plan of favoring the wealthy and notes President Truman's preference to apply surpluses to debt instead of tax cuts.
