Tax Bulletin Highlights Burden of Federal Tax Hikes
A Washington bulletin argues against higher federal income taxes, noting that taxing all income over 10 000 would raise 34 billion and only fund two weeks of government under current plans. It adds taxing over 6 000 would yield about 61 billion, roughly half of proposed foreign aid. The analysis stresses that most increases would hit 421 million earners under 10 000, who pay a large share of after tax income.
