House Democrats unveil tax plan sparking congressional debate
House Democrats present a tax overhaul proposal aimed at 15 percent and 27 percent rates with a 32 percent top rate for some, preserving the Senate’s 33 percent corporate tax. It would expand the 15 percent rate to about 80 percent of Americans and keep state and local sales tax deductions. The plan increases overall tax burden versus the Senate version, drawing sharp opposition from Senate conferees who call it too harsh on business. The tax writers group has pressed for 11 days with little progress, while compromises include no consumer interest deductions and adjusted IRA deductions with partial company pension deductions for some workers.
