Senate committee weighs larger income tax cut plan
Washington based UPI reports the Senate Finance Committee, in seven days of drafting, moved to prioritize individual income tax cuts and a capital gains tax debate while aiming for a cut larger than the House’s 10.4 billion for individuals. Chairman Russell Long proposed boosting the earned income credit with a 1.8 billion plan, and Senator Bob Dole floated an extra exemption for the totally disabled as the panel eyed broader relief amid inflation and Social Security tax rises. The measure would feature a refundable credit for low earners and a $400 maximum benefit, gradually phasing out for earnings between 4,000 and 8,000 dollars.
