Senate Rejects Move to End Tax Cut and Raise Rich Taxes
The Senate defeated a bipartisan effort to scrap the Democratic tax cut and fund deficit reduction by raising taxes on the wealthy. The plan would have used three-quarters of the revenue for deficit reduction and the rest for roads and job training, while other amendments expanding car buys and LBO loophole limits passed. Senator Specter won with an amendment to allow penalty free IRA withdrawals for up to ten thousand dollars this year to buy a new car. Senate also backed full deductibility of health insurance costs for self employed individuals and their families, a change aimed at aiding small business.
