Snyder Hints Truman Veto Of GOP Tax Cut
Washington January 16 Secretary of the Treasury Snyder warned Congress that President Truman would veto any tax cut that reduces overall revenue without offsetting increases in other taxes. He urged maintaining revenues while backing the Administration plan for a $40 tax cut per taxpayer and dependent, and a $3.2 billion levy on corporate profits over prewar levels. He contrasted this with Knutson’s GOP bill to cut taxes without offsetting steps, warning it would reduce budget surpluses and worsen the 1949 deficit. Republicans push that plan as a major tax cut, while Snyder called it unsuitable for poorer taxpayers and damaging to government revenue.
