Democrats Challenge Kennedy Tax Relief Plan on Low Income
Senate Finance Democrats led by Sen. Harris condemn administration tax cuts for low and middle income families. Kennedy proposes 920 million yearly relief for the bottom tier versus 2.7 billion in the House bill, with many low income taxpayers still dropped. Treasury cites varying impacts including a married couple with two children earning 7,500 gaining 6.6 percent and another at 12,600 gaining 5.8 percent.
