Bush plan raises beer wine taxes and caps deductions
The Bush administration proposes higher federal taxes on beer and wine and limits on state and local tax deductions. The plan aims to save about 54 billion next year, split between new taxes and program cuts, and would cap deductions at 10,000 per taxpayer. It would mark the first beer and wine tax hike since 1951 as budget talks press on amid Democratic reluctance to reach a compromise before the August recess.
