Reducing the Basic Personal Amount

Below are some more results from my project. The policy this analysis simulates is the reduction of Basic Personal Amount by $400 (from $9192.20 to $8792.20). Also, cutting the spouse & wholly dependent amount by $340 is included as well (from $7805.07 to $ 7465.07).

Again, simulations are performed by the SPSD/M (Version 14.1).
