Senate Student Tax Bill Edits Stir Debate
Senate debate on the revenue bill intensifies as Democrats push amendments. Proposals lower top personal income tax from 65 to 62 percent, keep 53 percent over $500,000, and eliminate all freight, passenger and Pullman taxes from 1922, with phased reductions later.
