Tonight is the SOTU. Obama is expected to announce/push his major tax increase proposal, tuition-free community college, "expanded access to broadband", and "aid to homebuyers"... among other things.
He wants to raise top cap gains tax rate to 28%; close trust fund loophole and impose a "fee" on biggest financial firms. He will say he wants to use new tax revenue to provide $500 tax credit to 2nd earner in families & tripling child care tax credit.
I would hope/expect the GOP-led Congress to destroy this push for billions in new taxes.
