WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed overhauling the tax code to lower taxes for the poor and middle class, increase them for the rich and make it so most Americans can file their taxes in five minutes.

Sen. Barack Obama delivers his tax overhaul plan Tuesday in Washington.

The tax relief plan he envisions for the middle class alone would mean $80 billion or more in tax cuts, he said.

Obama, an Illinois Democrat who is a front-runner for his party's 2008 presidential nomination, said during a speech at the Tax Policy Center that the present tax code reflects the wrong priorities because it rewards wealth instead of work.

"Instead of having all of us pay our fair share, we've got over $1 trillion worth of loopholes in the corporate tax code," he said. "This isn't the invisible hand of the market at work. It's the successful work of special interests." Watch Obama unveil his tax plan »

So that's safer roads with the gas tax, and fuller pockets with a wage tax cut. The logical method to economic woes. Note Hillary doesn't plan these cuts orrestructuring.

1. Liking him more and more. You got my rec. and bookmarked eom

[barack the house]

2. Thanks. =)

[aquart]

3. And that will happen WHEN?

Pie in the sky when we die.

Our roads won't collapse over the summer, will they?

[FrenchieCat]

4. Nothing's gonna happen over the summer.......

Including Hillary's holiday. Were you born yesterday? :shrug:

[Uben]

5. $80 billion in tax cuts?

How's he paying for it? Talk about republican tactics, this is a page right outta the Bush handbook. Trying to lure voters by promising cuts that aren't paid for is just increasing the debt. We need responsible fiscal minds in the whitehouse, not pipe dreams.

[barack the house]

7. He is reversing the top elites tax cuts and genuinely ending Iraq contracting...

Obama was the first senator to draft legislation to give oversight on contractors. His stand on black water is temporary as soldiers will get rest time during breaks for tours, there is also low sign up. His plan will lower funding to contractors overall and move that to military soldiers.

[Uben]

10. He doesn't have the power to do that.....

...even as president. Another lie. Smoke up your ass to get your vote.

[hokies4ever]

12. How does it feel knowing that Hillary has written a concession speech

in case she needs it today? :rofl:

[thoughtcrime1984]

14. What can ANYONE do without Congress? Nothing.

So you admit, then, that Hil is blowing smoke up everyone's asses. Good. Now that that is settled, Obama has the better plans for Congress to peruse. That is NOT smoke.

[Uben]

16. So, who's proposing a $50 billion dollar tax cut?

smoke, meet ass!

[thoughtcrime1984]

18. The tax cut is paid for by rolling back the Bush cuts on the top 1%

Ending the war will also help fund some programs.

[barack the house]

39. Have you noticed the amount of endorsements he has by fellow senators ?

[hokies4ever]

8. Obama has ALWAYS said he believes in 'pay as you go'

[Uben]

9. So?

How is he paying for $80 billion in tax cuts? That's about $1000 per family of four in new debt. Sounds exactly like what the republicans have been doing and not what a fiscally responsible president would do. OPbama is just doing what all politicians do, promise you the moon, and deliver nothing.

HAve either of the candidates explained how they will pay down the national debt? No. They won't touch it. All I have heard are promises to increase the debt with no solution on how to remedy the already over-burdening of debt to Americans. That's politics as usual, not change, not hope.

[hokies4ever]

11. Pastorbating leads to stupidity

Show me where he has proposed an unbalanced budget? God forbid you go to his website and actually look at his plans. It's Hillary going around pandering trying to promise the world to everybody.

[Uben]

13. Who is promising $50 billion in tax cuts?

Obama. Where is the money coming from? Direct me to that spot on his site that shows how he's paying for it. That represents a new debt of about $1000 for a family of four. God forbid you actually answer a fucking question!

[barack the house]

15. If you prefer the 30 dollar discount Hillary is offering feel free no-one is obliging you to ...

vote Obama.

[Uben]

17. I'm still waiting for you to produce.....

that link to Obama's site where he pays for a $50 billion dollar tax cut.

Obviously, you can't, so my point is proven. Thank you

Hope and change? He HOPES you are ignorant so he can Change your mind!

[thoughtcrime1984]

19. So, are you voting McCain then?

Do tell.

[Uben]

23. Dumb ass question.

The answer is no. I am a democrat. I vote for the nominee, regardless.

I am not an Obamunist who sits around singing cumbaya waiting for the hope and change that never comes. Another $50 billion tax cut only serves to increase the debt we already owe. That's what we have had the last seven years. That is not change, it's more of the same!

[thoughtcrime1984]

25. I already answered your "smart" question

Yeah, I'm singing Kumbaya. Sheesh, you're like most of em, I guess.

[Uben]

27. link please?

That's what I thought!

[hokies4ever]

30. YouAreAPrick.com

How you like dem apples? :rofl:

[Uben]

34. How intelligent

Now I know why you are voting for Obama.

[barack the house]

43. It has always been the tactic of Republicans not to do their own research. Intellectually lazy.

[hokies4ever]

21. How does it feel knowing that Hillary has written a concession speech

in case she needs to give it today? :rofl:

[hokies4ever]

22. you're part of the 'static America'

that Obama talked to us about. Please step aside while the rest of us pick up your slack and move this country forward.

[Uben]

26. Sorry....

...but you are the slacker! I pay my taxes and think everyone should pay their fair share. I don't ask for hand-outs or tax cuts.
I am a successful businessman who just wants our kids to have the same opportunities I had growing up. That will not happen if we continue to let the debt grow.

[hokies4ever]

29. Shouldn't you be at johnmccain.com

and not harassing Democrats?

[Uben]

33. I didn't know there was a Johnmccain.com

I've always voted democratic. Always! Your insinuating I'm a republican makes you look like a fifth grader. Grow the fuck up!

[hokies4ever]

36. Be nice

or we will let you just talk to yourself on the internet.

How do you plan on celebrating Hillary's post-campaign-back-to-the-Senate party? Some people just don't have what it takes to be President of the USA. At least she has $2.3 BILLION worth of earmark requests to fall back on.

{Kind of feel dumb talking about Obama and an unbalanced budget when Hillary has $2.3 billion worth of earmark requests, don't you?} :rofl:

[hokies4ever]

31. Funny how you're against handouts

Yet you keep begging us to give you intellect handouts over the internet. :rofl:
One of my favorite sayings is the next best thing to knowing an answer is knowing where to find it. Use google and educate yourself. 'The Google' is all the rage nowadays.

[Uben]

35. School must be out

The adolescents have come to play. How cute!

[barack the house]

38. That's why Obama is moving the tax burden to where it belongs...

The wealthy in society are getting more of the benefit of society so their tax share raises logically. The Democrat party has always had this policy Republicans are the party that place tax burden more on ordinary folk and middle class.

[wileedog]

41. Did you read the article?

Rolling back Bush's cuts, closing corporate loopholes and raising capital gains taxes.

[barack the house]

If cynicism has served you well this last 7 years feel free to continue that negativity with the

McClintons.

[hokies4ever]

20. Not my job to educate you

Where have you been for the past 8 months? This issue has been discussed ad nauseum. Obviously you have internet access, so I will take this time to teach you the lesson about learning how to help yourself.

P.S. There was also a flap about flag pins that came and went while you were in your political coma.

[Uben]

28. That's your hope and change?

You are hoping I don't realize that you like to change the subject. Teach yourself a lesson, you could use the education!

[hokies4ever]

32. Stop begging for intellect handouts

:rofl:

[barack the house]

40. If you don't believe It will come to fruition why is it distressing you so much...

He has made his candidacy come this far in this we can have every faith in what he would do as president. Although if you don't like shifting the tax burden back to its fair share in society, johnmccain.com has all you need to know.

[Hola]

24. Paying for it

Iraq, end of foreign 'adventures', plus closing the loopholes in the corporate tax structure. Did u even read the article.

[hokies4ever]

37. He's just hating on Obama

cause he's mad that everybody's voting for him. Part of his attempted scorched earth policy.

6. Kick
