We should eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains (+13)


  1. We should focus tax breaks on the middle class (+10).  
  2. As with the marginal income tax rates, Mitt Romney will seek to makepermanent the lower tax rates for investment income put in place by President Bush. Another step in the right direction would be a Middle-Class Tax SavingsPlan that would enable most Americans to save more for retirement. As president, Romney will seek to eliminate taxation on capital gains, dividends, and interestfor any taxpayer with an adjusted gross income of under $200,000, helpingAmericans to prepare for retirement and enjoy the freedom that accompaniesfinancial security. This would encourage more Americans to save and to invest forthe long-term, which would in turn free up capital for investment flowing backinto the economy and helping to facilitate economic growth.
  3. We we remove taxes from money that people save, then they will save more. We need people to save more. Not enough people have enough money in savings, to even make it a few months if they were to get laid off.
