WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep.
Wes Watkins, a member of the

"Americans today pay a
higher share of taxes as a per-
centage of the Gross Domestic
Product than at any time since
World War II," Watkins said
from the House floor Saturday
morning. "The people of the
United States deserve immedi-

$500 for single parents, and
$600 for married taxpayers.

first $12,000
(couples).
Creates anew marginal tax
rate structure: 10 percent, 15
percent, 25 percent, 28 percent
33 percent, and 35 percent.
Repeals personal exemption
and itemized deductions phase-
outs beginning in 2006.
Marriage Penalty Relief
15 percent bracket adjusted
to twice that of singles.
Standard deduction for mar-
ried couples will be twice that
of singles by 2005.
Child Tax Credit Expansion
