Senate Revises Plan to Hike Personal Income Tax
In Washington, the Senate finance committee moved to erase the House's personal income tax rise and adopt a plan raising rates by three percentage points across brackets. The lower income groups would pay more, with the average two-child family earning 3,000 to 5,000 dollars seeing a 15 percent rise, and higher earners facing smaller increases. The panel aims to finish a bill within two weeks, while the House measure would lift overall taxes by about 7.2 billion dollars.
