915449	110-sconres-70	2008-05-15	Motion by Senator Conrad to instruct Senate conferees to insist that the revenue levels in the resolution include the cost of providing relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax in 2008, so that the number of taxpayers affected by the AMT does not increase and thereby more than 20 million middle-class families would be protected from paying higher taxes; to insist on the Senate position of providing for the extension of expiring and expired tax relief that has been routinely extended in past years, including tax relief such as the research and experimentation tax credit, the deduction for state and local sales taxes, the deduction for classroom expenses, the deduction for qualified education expenses, the incentive for the charitable IRA rollover, the combat pay earned income tax credit, and various energy tax incentives; and, insist that every effort should be made to offset the cost of these policies by closing the tax gap, shutting down abusive tax shelters, addressing offshore tax havens, and without raising taxes agreed to in Senate by Voice Vote.
