“As we make these changes, we'll be sure to encourage growth and innovation. So we'll exempt start-up companies and small businesses from capital gains to give them an added boost. Because when more Americans tap that well of opportunity, all of us are better off.”

Here is what he said: "Well, I think that there's no doubt that letting the Bush tax cuts on the top 1 percent lapse would not have, I think, a significant impact on the economy, but would bolster our fiscal situation,"
He said he wants get rid of the tax breaks for the top 1% that Bush put in.

Are you trying to make my point for me?
No tax increase if earning under $250K; tax cuts under $75K. (Apr 2008)
sounds good to me.
Raise capital gains tax for fairness, not for revenue. (Apr 2008)
sounds good to me.
Tax cut for seniors and those making $75,000 a year or less. (Feb 2008)
