Senate Eyes Higher Tax Relief For Middle Incomes
Senate Finance Committee weighs a proposal to widen income tax relief for middle earners, offering roughly $21 extra to a couple with two children earning 10,000, and $53 more for a 25,000 income. It would offset Social Security tax increases for families earning 20,000 or less, while inflation relief favors lower earners. The panel, chaired by Sen. Russell Long, may vote today. administration critics say the House plan overbenefits higher incomes, and the committee rejects the Roth-Kemp 33 percent tax cut as too risky.
