Compromises on Proposed Cut for All Federal Taxpayers
United States Senate Republicans proposed a compromise plan to cut individual income taxes by 20 dollars for all taxpayers starting July 1. The plan would give a $20 cut to bottom-bracket filers with no extra benefit for dependents and would exclude those using other tax concessions or benefits. Senator Eugene Millikin pushed the plan as a substitute to the Democratic tax reform agenda, but faced parliamentary hurdles, leading to a series of amendments rather than a single vote.
