Tax cut battle in Congress divides conservatives and Democrats
In a Democratic dominated House Reagan builds a coalition of Republicans and conservative Southern Democrats to pass budget cuts. Of 26 Conservative Democratic Forum members, 10 back Reagan, 10 favor the Democratic bill, and six remain undecided per Rep. G W Montgomery. The Democratic plan proposes a 21 month 15 percent tax cut for incomes from 15000 to 50000, continuing a third year only if the economy strengthens.

Tax plans compared cut rates and adjust brackets
A summary contrasts the administration and Democratic tax bills. Democrats favor faster rate cuts for lower to middle incomes with inflation indexing and a marriage penalty relief, while Republicans push broader three year cuts with automatic triggers, higher standard deductions, and selective corporate relief. Both aim to end estate taxes and adjust IRA rules, with key differences in timing and scope.
