WEALTHY TAX DODGERS THROUGH LOWERING THE PASS-
THROUGH TAX RATE.

(a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate
to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment,
amendment between the Houses, or conference report relating
to a reconciliation bill that would--
(1) provide a tax cut on business income to individuals in
the top 1 percent of income, or
(2) increase the incentive for workers to receive
compensation from their current employer through a pass-
through business rather than in the form of higher-taxed
wages.
(b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or
suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly
chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of
the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under
subsection (a).
