Kennedy outlines record $13 billion tax cut plan
President Kennedy proposed the largest income tax cut in U.S. history, a $13.5 billion reduction to be phased in through 1963 to 1965. Individuals would save about $11 billion annually, with the remainder benefiting corporations. Top individual rates would drop from 20–91% to 14–65% and the top corporate rate would fall from 52% to 47%. The plan aims to offset losses with reforms and was announced in his State of the Union address.
