Jerry Moran: “in my opinion there are two Federal income tax increases in this bill…”

On the recordApril 5, 1995

in my opinion there are two Federal income tax increases in this bill before us. There is an indirect tax increase on Federal employees of $4,525 over the next 5 years through a 313 percent increase in their retirement contribution, and there is a second more direct income tax rate increase in this bill. Mr. Speaker, my parliamentary inquiry is directed at the clear, unequivocal Federal income tax rate increase. Does clause 5(c) of rule XXI that was passed in the first day of this session require a three-fifths majority for any increase in the Federal income tax rate?
