Charge State Income Tax Plan Faces Criticism In Harrisburg
The Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce argues Gov Leader's 411 million plan taxes bases on income source hurting low earners. They cite examples: a $1000 dividend earner pays 5 percent, a $2000 retirement and rent recipient pays 1 and 4 percent, a $2400 earner pays 1 percent on 1400, and a $2700 worker pays 1 percent. They say the plan exempts a $4000 pension and targets income source over amount.
