LBJ signs tax boost amid spending cut clash
President Johnson signed a bill adding 10 percent to most income taxes and forcing a $6 billion budget cut unless Congress acts. With retroactive effects to April 1, 1 to 2 million taxpayers face higher bills next April while about 60 million expect smaller refunds. Corporations face the full 1968 rate, with faster tax collection and continued excise taxes. The measure aims to save about $15.2 billion in the new fiscal year and may require further tax-rate changes to sustain the economy.
