Eliminate income taxes for approx 10 million, raise taxes on higher income households. - Make permanent child tax redits and tax cuts for lower and middle income. Raise taxes on incomes over $250K. Rates to return to pre-2001 levels. - Refundable 4000K tax credit for college ed. - Increase capital gains to between 20% and 28%. Raise taxes on dividends. - Tax credit to companies taht maintain or increase US based jobs relative to overseas. - Windfalls tax for oil companies (not sure how that would work) Trade: - A critic of NAFTA. Wants to renegotiate. (doubtful) - Expand Trade Adjustment Assistance for domestic workers. Energy: - Against offshore drilling, but recently hedged his position. - Against nuclear power plant development (which sucks) - Require utilities to generate 25% of electricity from renewable resources by 2025. - Tax credits to employers that subsidize employees' mass transit. ...... Don't feel like listing the rest.....I got to get back to work...... Some of these I agree with, some I don't....the big one? Get the hell out of Iraq.
