Tax cuts spark Democratic backlash over benefits for rich and poor
Democrats immediately pounced accusing the GOP of tax cuts that favor wealthy families while cutting school funding heating assistance and other programs for the poor. The package includes a measure by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison to grant homemakers the same Individual Retirement Account deductions as working spouses raising the deductible cap to 4000. The plan centers a 500 per child tax credit for families earning up to 200 000 and would alter capital gains rates and corporate levies.
