Senator Van Hollan has proposed the Working Americans' Tax Cut Act" (WATCA). It will eliminate federal income taxes for individuals’ earnings under $46,000 and for married couples under $92,000. The tax relief is phased out for marrieds up to $153,000. It will be paid for by a tiered surtax on income over $1 million for singles and $1.5 million for marrieds. In addition, it increases the child tax credit up to $3,600 for children 6 and older up to age 17 and $4,320 for children under 6 with a baby bonus of $6,360. Senator Cory Booker has a somewhat similar plan. This is interesting from two standpoints. First it will help reduce the income gap and second it is a proposal by democrats instead of just opposing Trump. It gives people something to vote for.
