Erick Erickson of RedState put together this list of tax-related phrases from last night's State of the Union address:
Tax Increases
"I have proposed a fee on the biggest banks."
"finally slash the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas"
"But at a time of record deficits, we will not continue tax cuts for oil companies, investment fund managers, and those making over $250,000 a year."
Tax Cuts With Strings - Targeted, Not broad-based cuts:
"new small business tax credit"
"eliminate all capital gains taxes on small business investment"
"provide a tax incentive for all businesses, large and small, to invest in new plants and equipment"
"give rebates to Americans who make their homes more energy efficient"
"give those tax breaks to companies that create jobs in the United States of America"
"That's why we're nearly doubling the child care tax credit"
"expanding the tax credit for those who start a nest egg"
"give families a $10,000 tax credit for four years of college and increase Pell Grants"
"we will extend our middle-class tax cuts"
