Taxes+-+Edwards



Although this isn't Edwards' first priority he thinks this is important. Part of Edwards’ plan to strengthen the economy is reforming the tax structure and making it a fair playing field for all Americans. His altered tax code would embody the values of working Americans. Savings, work and family are the three new tax cuts that he has introduced. As of right now, the wealthy Americans are given tax breaks. Because of this, they are enabled to keep gaining wealth. Edwards would match the savings of working families up to $500. He would also expand the earned income tax credit, and modify the marriage penalty.
