The Alternative Minimum Tax was created to prevent wealthy families from evading taxes through shelters. Yet, without congressional action, the number of individuals subject to the AMT will jump to 20.5 million in 2006, from 3.8 million in 2005. Now a group of Senators is calling for it's repeal. A conversation on the tenacious history and the future of the Alternative Minimum Tax.
