Senate Kills Republican $7.9 Billion Tax Cut Plan
The Senate rejected a GOP amendment to add a $7.9 billion annual tax cut to the tax bill on a party line vote. Sen. Danforth and Sen. Javits sponsored the proposal to cut rates on the first $20,000 of income, arguing it would aid middle and low income taxpayers while only offering temporary relief before inflation pushes brackets up. Sen. Long warned Carter would veto if the permanent cut survived and that current cuts could hinder later tax reform.
