House Group Seeks End to Tax Debt Under Plan
Washington May 1 The Ways and Means committee Democratic majority urges Congress to back its pay-as-you-go tax plan while Republicans push the Ruml plan as fair and simple. Democrats say the Ruml plan doubles tax burdens for millions. Republicans claim it reflects common sense and reduces debt by adjusting income tax payments. Both reports contest the other’s fairness and impact on 1942 taxes. The Treasury backs the compromise version aimed at cutting about 44 percent of individual tax obligations.
