BARACK OBAMA IN TOLEDO, OHIO - THE ECONOMY

Obama's plan calls for raising taxes only on the 5 percent of people who make more than $250,000 a year. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that under Obama's approach the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers would see their taxes go up on average by $93,709 in 2009,

For McCain, those same wealthy taxpayers would see an average reduction of $48,860.

Obama is proposing tax cuts for those making less than $200,000 a year.

Barack Obama proposed more immediate steps Monday to heal the nation's ailing economy including a 90-day moratorium on home foreclosures at some banks and a two-year tax break for businesses that create new jobs.

With the economic turmoil weighing down his Republican presidential rival, Obama also proposed allowing people to withdraw up to $10,000 from their retirement accounts without any penalty this year and next.

The Democratic presidential candidate said his proposals, with a price tag of $60 billion over two years, can be enacted quickly, either through the government's regulatory powers or legislation that Congress could pass in a special session after the election.

"I'm proposing a number of steps that we should take immediately to stabilize our financial system, provide relief to families and communities and help struggling homeowners," Obama told a crowd of 3,000. "It's a plan that begins with one word that's on everyone's mind, and it's spelled J-O-B-S."

[Scaredycrat]

He is full of shit, the democrats right now are trying to take peoples 401k money and force it into social security. That is a bill being proposed right now. That is called smoke and mirrors, He showing you one thing while doing somethign totally different, right in front of you. It's all hype. he will cost jobs in this country.

[Scaredycrat]

3,000 dollars over two years, that should get

jobs jumping, what a joke. That will no where near cover the cost of the increases he is proposing. Not to mention they are trying to make it eaiser for unions to sneak in the back door of companies, that bill alone will cost thousands of jobs. As Joe Biden said MARK MY WORDS.
