Carter ' threatens tax cut WASHINGTON (AP) - After expanding business tax breaks that President Carter wants to discard entirely, the Senate is considering a Republican move to defy Carter further by cutting income tax rates. Carter has threatened to veto the pending tax bill if it includes a permanent tax cut. The Republicans prepared amendments to the bill, part of Carter’s program to stimulate the economy, to reduce the tax rates in the low-and middle-in come brackets. The Republicans originally proposed the permanent cuts as an alternative to Carter’s SSO - rebate plan. Last week Carter dropped his sup port for the rebates and for business tax breaks. But while it honored his re quest to jettison the rebates, the Senate voted 74 to 20 Thursday to keep the business tax breaks, worth $3.3 billion over two years. Then it approved amendments increasing those tax breaks up to $4.1 billion. While the GOP plan would benefit all taxpayers, the big gest proportional gains would go to those with smaller in comes.
