Recovery plans set to duel in Congress tax debate
House Democrats draft a narrow tax bill aimed at middle class relief, higher taxes on the wealthy, and investment incentives. Rep Dan Rostenkowski says a consensus package may include a millionaire surtax and credits for wage earners to fund a broader tax cut. Republicans push to vote on Bush plan with limited stimulus measures, while Democrats seek a full vote on Bush’s package including capital gains relief, real estate incentives, and education provisions.
