House Dems eye tax increases for wealthy By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 40 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - House Democrats are looking to unravel many of President Bush's tax cuts for wealthy people to pay for protecting middle-class families from a hidden tax increase.


They also plan to provide modest tax relief to the working poor and married couples in legislation being fashioned by Rep. Charles Rangel (news, bio, voting record), the New York Democrat who is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Rangel's plan represents the Democrats' first major tax salvo since they won control of Congress and comes after years of criticizing Bush's tax cuts as giveaways to the rich. A House vote on it is possible as early as June.
