House Approves 15.8 Billion Tax Cut Across Three Years
The House passage sets a 15.8 billion tax cut over three years and heads to the Senate for swift action. The bill boosts business relief to spur the economy while the Democratic Congress expands relief for lower income individuals. Taxpayers in poverty may see full relief or greater deductions, with millions benefitting from higher minimum deductions and targeted credits. The revised plan delays a proposed 1 dollar tax checkoff for campaigns, easing Nixon opposition and allowing signature on the broader measure.
