Tax bill passes despite conservative revolt in House
The House approved a broad tax bill after a sharp revolt from conservatives led by Rep. Jack Kemp. The measure, opposed by Speaker O'Neill, raises cigarette and telephone taxes, tightens medical deductions, taxes interest and dividends, and scales back business breaks. It would fund added unemployment benefits and curb health aid while expanding deficits.
