Republicans Attack Tax Revision as Political Weapon
Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee say the administration's tax revision bill is a political weapon aimed at foes in business. They oppose a proposed penalty tax on large family-owned corporations, arguing the plan deepens economic hardship and reflects Roosevelt-era policy. The bill would raise taxes on many corporations, with undivided profits taxes and new capital gains rates, while Senate and House debates continue on related government reforms and appropriations.
