issue of tax reform before "taxmageddon" became a real- ity. The Job Protection & Recession Prevention Act (H.R. 8) would give Congress more time to hatch a pathway to tax reform without devastating the economy. The bill provides a two-year alternative minimum tax patch (covering 2012 and 2013) and extends through Dec. 31, 2013 the tax cuts originally enacted in 2001 and 2003, including lower marginal rates; marriage penalty relief; $1,000 child credit; 15 percent top rates on dividends and capital gains; estate tax at its 2012 parameters; and higher Sec. 179 small business expensing limits. Though it passed 256-171 in the House, the Senate refused to take up the legislation. House Vote 112-2-545, Aug. 1, 2012.
