On the recordJune 26, 2012

In recent years, Congress has increasingly used the Tax Code to provide means-tested benefits to low- and moderate-income Americans. These programs, however, are often flawed, imposing high marginal tax rates on those in the phase-out ranges as well as steep marriage penalties--thus discouraging both work and marriage. As part of comprehensive tax reform, this hearing will help the Ways and Means Committee reform these tax programs to make sure they reward work and honor marriage.
