Senate liberals push tax reform to close loopholes
A group of about a dozen liberal Democratic senators urged a package to close 21 tax loopholes and raise the wealthy’s tax load by 16 billion dollars annually. The plan, led by Edward Kennedy, faced slim odds this year but aimed to spark debate and force presidential year attention. The proposal also seeks to curb oil depletion allowances, tax unrealized gains on inheritances, cut depreciation allowances, and tax current income of U S corporations’ foreign subsidiaries.
