quote:

President Barack Obama will lay out a plan to extend tax credits to the middle class by hiking taxes on wealthier Americans and big banks, according to senior administration officials.

Under the plan, the capital gains tax would be raised from its current level of 15 percent up to 28 percent for couples with incomes over $500,000 a year. The plan would also strip a tax break, known as a "step-up," that allows heirs to avoid capital gains taxes on large inheritances.

In addition, the plan would institute a new tax on the biggest financial institutions, basing the fee on liabilities in order to discourage risky borrowing. The administration says the fee would hit the roughly 100 banks that have assets of $50 billion or more.

The president's plan would use revenues from those tax code changes to finance credits aimed at the middle class, officials said. That includes extending the earned income tax credits to families without children, which would benefit an estimated 13 million low-income workers, while also tripling the maximum tax credits for child care in low- and middle-income homes.

With the tax on the 1% is it something he can do with executive or is he using it as a "well look at these republicans who don't want the wealthy to pay a fair amount?" Weapon

If Obama is smiling...

quote:

Obama�s overall approval rating now sits at 50 percent.

A look at the trending numbers puts that as a seven to 10 point increase over the October to November time frame, when he was averaging between 40 and 43 percent.

Meanwhile, the GOP peaked at 44 percent precisely at election time, when they were the most combative. They�ve since lost six points and now sit down at 38 percent.
