House committee approves capital gains tax cut political clash ahead
The House Ways and Means Committee narrowly approved a capital gains tax cut 19 to 17 despite Democratic opposition. The plan lowers the rate from 43 percent to 28 percent over 27 months with indexing to inflation, aiming to spur investment but potentially costing the Treasury long term. Key figures include President Bush, Speaker Foley, Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, Rep. Ed Jenkins, Rep. J. J. Pickle, and House Leader Richard Gephardt. The measure also trims elderly health insurance premiums and expands child care subsidies for low income families.
