Gephardt tax plan signals Democrat push for reform
The Gephardt plan offers a five-rate system with a 10 percent bracket for households under $40,200 and broader deductions cut to mortgage interest. It aims for simplicity but preserves many current tax complexities, keeping savings and investment taxed via multiple schedules and potential double taxation, while acknowledging broader reform after the 1996 elections.
