Truman calls for $40 cost of living tax cut for all
President Truman urged Congress to approve an immediate $40 per person and dependent tax credit, offset by higher corporate taxes. He said a family of two parents and two children would save about $160 in 1948, with millions freed from federal income tax while inflation is tackled. He also backed a separate GOP plan for broader income tax cuts. The message also renewed support for his anti inflation program and a $6.8 billion initial spending push.
