Description: | 07:01:20:00 B W 1948 08Jan48 Sd Title: Universal International Newsreel with music under (clean). 07:01:30:00 B W 1948 Sd Washington, DC Truman Speaks To Congress On State Of Union. Motorcade arriving at Capitol. Truman shaking hands with Joe Martin, Sam Rayburn standing beside. President Truman turns to microphones at joint session of Congress. MCU of applauding congressmen. Truman: `High prices must not be our means of rationing. We must deal effectively and at once with the high cost of living. We must stop the spiral of inflation. Many of our families today are suffering hardship because of the high cost of living. At the same time, profits of corporations have reached an all time record in 1947. Corporate profits total 17 billion dollars after taxes. This compared with 12 billion 500 million dollars in 1946, the previous high year. Because of this extraordinarily high level of profits, corporations can well afford to carry a larger share of the tax load at this time. I recommend therefore, that effective January 1, 1948 a cost of living tax credit be extended to our people consisting of a credit of $40 to each individual tax payer, and an additional credit of $40 for each dependent. Thus the income tax of a man with a wife and two children would be reduced $160. The credit would be extended to all tax payers but it would be particularly helpful in the low income group. When we have conquered inflation we shall be a position to move forward toward our chosen goals. As we do so let us keep ever before us our high purposes.' Standing ovation.
