15. Where he stands:
Boost capital gains tax to 28 percent for wealthiest and repeal tax cuts for highest-income households. Eliminate tax breaks for hedge fund managers and private equity firms. Reduce the marriage tax and keep the tax on inheritances above $4 million for couples. Offer up to $500 tax credit annually for families earning up to $75,000 and expand child tax credits for expenses up to $5,000. Crack down on offshore tax havens.

"If we want a truly fair tax system, then we also have to end the injustices in our system that allow many wealthy people and corporations to avoid taxes altogether."
- Speech in Des Moines Iowa, July 26, 2007
