Financial Group Pushes For Vote On Fax Cut Bill

A U S Senate Finance Committee proposal aims to tax relief totaling 4.0 billion dollars. Chairman Millikin (R-Ga) says an amendment to shift to July 2 would make the plan effective sooner. About 1,200 of 43 million taxpayers would receive 20 to 30 percent reductions, with higher earners facing smaller cuts. Millikin cautions a broader 20 percent bracket could be narrowed to 15 percent for incomes between 200,000 and 202,000, and notes a separate plan to allow income splitting remains unlikely. The current privilege exists in 25 states with community property laws.
