Congress tax cut bill worthy of Carter veto
Washington analysis argues the 95th Congress passed a tax bill skewed to upper income brackets. It notes a 40 percent cut for high earners earning $100000, about 7 percent for mid and upper ranges, and 16 percent for the poor on $10000. Critics say this widens inequality, calling for genuine reform and a presidential veto.
