Indexing tax rates to inflation sparks congressional debate
The Columbia State argues that indexing or indexation, linking tax brackets to inflation, could prevent taxpayers from being pushed into higher brackets. A 1977 family of four earning 15000 would need 16200 in 1978 to keep pace, while higher earners face an extra 260 in tax.
