Democrats join Republicans in opposition on tax plan
Two Democrats joined the 10 committee Republicans in opposing a substitute tax plan. No names were announced. Republicans failed 15 to 10 on a party line vote, as the substitute would raise each taxpayer by 10 percent, lighter on smaller taxpayers than the adopted plan. The administration sought four percentage points more in each bracket, about 3.6 billion dollars extra yearly. If approved, a married man with two dependents earning five thousand would pay 598 versus 520 now. a ten thousand dollar earner would pay 1820 versus 1592. Income taxes have already risen once since the Korean War began, effective last October 1.
