GOP Plan Would Increase Taxes Ahead of Deficit Talks
A Republican deficit reduction plan discussed by budget negotiators would raise taxes for some low income households while cutting taxes for wealthier Americans. The proposal limits deductions for state and local taxes, hikes on alcohol, and reduces capital gains taxes, with about 4.1 billion in new taxes on annual incomes under 50 000. It was presented as talks at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington continued to miss a deadline for the 1991 fiscal year beginning October 1. Analysts warn the plan would tilt toward higher earners, though the capital gains cut could deliver large benefits to the rich.

Retail Sales Slip 0.6 Percent In August
