Senate panel approves $9 billion tax reform plan
The Senate Finance Committee finished action on a tax reform bill that would cut taxes for most Americans with a 10 percent surtax reduction phased in by 1972. It would lift 5 million families from the rolls and cut taxes for the poor while raising taxes on many high earners such as realtors and bankers. The plan promises up to 16 percent relief for some middle income taxpayers and starts taking effect next year with full relief by 1972.
