Tax plan for Christmas bonus stirs debate in Washington
A Bethesda man, Stan Jennings, proposes a tax shift to give taxpayers a December free ride by paying 11 months of taxes in advance. The plan would cut December taxes, allegedly save $122 million in interest, and could boost holiday spending by about $4 billion. Critics warn it would be a stealth tax increase in disguise, despite no net rise in overall revenue. The idea is described alongside editorials and reader reactions in December commentary across papers.
