Congress Enacts Large Income Tax Cut Over Truman Veto
Congress today enacted a 450 billion dollar income tax cut by 311 to 8 in the House and 77 to 10 in the Senate, overriding President Truman's veto. The measure taxes 52 million filers, eliminates the tax for 7.2 million with lower incomes, and lowers rates across brackets while raising personal exemptions. It adopts community property reporting and expands exemptions for seniors, aiming to spur production and relieve taxpayers amid inflation concerns.
