House Ways and Means Clears 12 Percent Income Tax Hike Plan
Washington May 24 The House Ways and Means Committee advanced a rough draft of a 7.2 billion tax increase bill after voting a 12 percent rise in individual income taxes. The package also seeks a 730 million dollar per year increase in the corporate excess profits tax. The plan would cap total tax at 90 percent of income, favoring lower earners and potentially delaying enactment until autumn with full hearings and drafting through June.
