Bush, Obama’s proposals stand out because they are targeted to varied and specific populations that need relief the most. These include tax reform for the middle class, tax relief for the poor, universal mortgage credits, tax credits up to $4,000 for college students, and the elimination of income tax for senior citizens earning...
