Gephardt challenging gop with own tax plan Washington a House democrats will pro pose a tax Cut for families earning less than $75,000 a year and incentives to encourage companies to share profits with workers. Rep. Richard Gephardt the in coming House minority Leader said tuesday. The Missouri Democrat offered his vision of the direction his party should move after the thrashing it received by republicans in last month s elections. He contrasted that with the goals of the new majority re publicans who want to hold up a punching bag for people s  it s the tried and tested gop formula division exclusion and fear he said. It s wrong and i think peo ple should reject it out of  Gephardt s proposed tax Cut would apply to workers earning less than $75,000 regardless of whether they have children. Republicans have proposed a tax credit of $500 per child for people with incomes up to $200,000 annually. So the american people will have a Choice Between two tax cuts Gephardt told the Center for economic policy a democratic oriented think tank. The Republican tax Cut which gives a tax rebate for every child of the Rich or the democratic tax Cut which says that All working people deserve a break not based on the size of the families,.but based on the size of their in-comes.".  ,. ". Gephardt offered no details about the exact form the tax reduction would take. And just As republicans have done he offered no specific proposals for paying for it other than saying it would be fully paid for with spend in cuts. I ". V Well look up and Down every Section every part of the budget to come up with funds to do this he said. He also said democrats will undoubtedly work on proposals for a Cut in the capital gains tax rate aimed at the Middle class. The Levy is paid on profits from sales of assets. The gop says reducing the tax rate would stimulate the Economy while Many democrats say it would chiefly be a tax Boon for the Rich he also said he would offer a new program called pay for productivity with incentives for corporate profit sharing. That Way we will have the kind of society we need to fuel our Economy Well into the 21st  he also said he would introduce a Bill requiring re publicans to describe exactly How they would balance the Federal budget. Gop House leaders have promised to push a constitutional amendment through the House that would require a balanced budget but would not spell out How to eliminate the deficit. We won t delay a vote on the amendment Gep Hardt said but neither will we allow them to balance the budget on the backs of working people and senior citizens. If the republicans Are serious about balancing the budget let them Lay their cards on the table and let the people be the  president Clinton blamed by Many democrats for the party s loss of both the House and Senate last month has said he wants to propose a Middle income tax Cut of his own As Long As he can find ways to pay for it. His top aides including chief of staff Leon Panetta have been telling congressional leaders that Clinton s proposal probably would Cost $50 billion to $100 Bil lion. / \ \ House democrats plan to fill out their Newy expanded leadership Structure this week in Hopes of giving voice to the Parry s women minorities and More conservative members. Among the new leaders Gephardt was expected to name rep. Martin Frost a Texas to head the demo cratic congressional Campaign committee House democrats chief election fund raising Arm. Democrats also were to begin crafting their internal rules for the Congress which convenes Jan. 4, including decisions about How committee assignments should be made. There have been fears that with Many women and minorities holding Junior positions on various pan Els they would be most prone to lose desirable seats if democrats went strictly by a system of seniority.
