Mills ruling pins tax hike fate to deeper spending cuts
President Johnson’s 1967 tax increase proposal was declared dead for 1967 by House Ways and Means Chair Wilbur Mills, but could pass next year if the administration delivers deeper spending cuts. Mills said economizers should beat the $4.1 billion plan by $2–$3 billion, improving tax increase prospects. He noted Johnson seeks a 10 percent surcharge on individual and corporate income taxes, faster corporate tax, and steady excise taxes, aiming for substantial revenue in the current and following fiscal years.
