Some in Washington are pushing tax proposals that could encourage corporations to move overseas. At a time when America has lost over 2 million manufacturing jobs, we should shut down tax loopholes that encourage companies to take jobs abroad. Instead, we should offer tax incentives for companies to manufacture here in America, like a 10 percent tax credit for corporations that produce goods here and keep jobs at home. And we should be bringing venture capital to areas hard-hit by job loss, especially rural communities with entrepreneurs eager to start small businesses if they can only get some help...
Second, I’m going to help spur investment and growth by cutting taxes strategically for innovators, manufacturers and small businesses. Giving a tax credit for factories that create new jobs here in America. Eliminating the capital gains tax for new investments in startups. And giving a credit for the purchase of information technology. We’ve lost manufacturing jobs every single month since George W. Bush has been in office; it’s time to stop the bleeding...

My plan would give a tax cut to 98 percent of taxpayers, while asking the top 2 percent to pay more of their fair share. It’s not only fully paid for, it would save hundreds of billions of dollars to help reduce the deficit every year...
Compare that to Howard Dean, who would repeal all of the middle class tax cuts that we Democrats fought to pass over the last three years, and you’ll find that the average middle class family with two kids in New Hampshire would pay $2,700 more a year under Howard Dean. That’s enough money to pay a big chunk of the average state college tuition. Or to buy an iMac and an iPod...
