Tax Bill From Page One
United States Chamber of Commerce praised enactment of the bill over the veto as in the national interest. President Truman issued a 1500 word veto message arguing the bill is the wrong kind of tax reduction unsafe for finances inflationary and biased toward big taxpayers. He expressed hope for future reductions but warned timing depends on inflation and price stability. Senator Holland noted no early recession signals while criticizing perceived high income favoritism in the tax plan. The bill would cut 30 percent for the lowest bracket and 15-20 percent for middle earners, with 10.5 percent for incomes above 302000.
