A Ways and Means proposal aims to equalize tax burdens but would boost after tax income for low and middle earners, raising consumer spending and prices. It cuts personal taxes by 9.2 billion, mostly to those earning under 15,000, with higher taxes on those over that threshold and on institutions and businesses, totaling 5.4 billion in new levies.

Inflation risks could blunt benefits next year if prices rise faster than incomes.
