Predication is the act of creating a predicate. In your example, the predicate (everything except the subject, WE) is correctly predicated. If it had said something like: "Under the revised plan, the elderly, who now receive a double personal exemption, will be abolished" then the predication would be faulty. The sentence, as it stands, actually says that the ELDERLY will be abolished, not the intended EXEMPTION.
