Senate Rejects Bid to Help Low Income Families
The Senate voted 71 to 23 against Sen. Paul Douglas and his plan to revise the $11.6 billion tax cut to aid low income families by boosting the minimum standard deduction. Douglas proposed to raise the deduction to $400 for the taxpayer and $200 per added exemption, up through the sixth, with a revenue shift by scaling back corporate rate cuts. The bill's overall pathway remains uncertain as lawmakers consider repealing excise taxes and credits on stock dividends, with party lines shaping gains and defeats in a broad tax-cut debate.
