Senate Finance Committee approves sweeping tax reform plan
Washington AP The Senate Finance Committee backed the broad tax overhaul cutting many deductions and slashing top rates. Repeals on IRAs and write offs, 15 percent rate for about 80 percent of workers, and a 27 percent top rate after about 42 000 for a four person family, with corporate taxes rising and capital gains shelters shrinking. President Reagan praised the plan as a major reform step ahead of a June Senate floor vote.
