Tax cut proposal details and partisan reaction described
A year long tax cut plan would total about 2.2 billion dollars with a 20 dollar cut per taxpayer and per dependent. Families of five would gain about 100 dollars with lower income or large families seeing relief from income tax entirely for about five million. The measure shifts benefits via payroll withholdings after January 1 and tax returns in early 1957. Republicans mocked the move while Democrats called it simple justice for the late fellow and pointed to larger cuts the previous year amid a bigger deficit. The House split showed party-line discipline with 221 Democrats and 21 Republicans supporting final passage, while 2 Democrats and 173 Republicans opposed.
