Vinson Calls for Higher Income Taxes to Curb Inflation
New York banker and official Vinson argued before the Investment Bankers Association that a minimum of 10.5 billion dollars in new taxes is needed to prevent inflation and financial disaster, proposing lower personal allowances and higher surtaxes while urging higher excises on luxury spending. He cited 1943 to 1942 increases in fur, coats, negligees, dining, and entertainment costs and projected 1944 national income around 157 billion dollars with 20 billion dollars to be siphoned by taxes, savings, and bond purchases, leaving 20 billion dollars of spendable money.
