Marriage penalty reform proposed to aid middle class
The House backed a 182 billion dollar ten year tax cut for married couples to erase the marriage penalty. It doubles the married standard deduction, expands the bracket for couples, and raises the Earned Income Tax Credit cap. The plan, backed by some Democrats and Heritage Foundation figures, targets middle class families and could pass both houses with a presidential sign.
