Rudy Giuliani vows to push for tax cuts

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire: A Democratic president would raise taxes and ravage the US economy, Republican presidential primary candidate Rudy Giuliani said yesterday.
The former New York City mayor said he would lower taxes, make permanent President George W Bush's tax cuts and eliminate inheritance taxes.

He criticised Democrats who want to repeal Bush's cuts.
"When it's working, let's change it. That's a brilliant philosophy. It sounds little bit like Iraq," Giuliani said at a town hall meeting.

The cornerstone of Giuliani's campaign has been tax cuts, greater freedom over spending and less government. He said Americans would face a $3 trillion tax increase over the next decade unless Bush's tax cuts are made permanent.

Edwards: Let IRS do millions of returns

RALEIGH --Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards wants the Internal Revenue Service to calculate and complete the income tax returns of up to 50 million Americans annually.

In a podcast the campaign will post on its Web site today, Edwards says the U.S. tax code is unnecessarily complicated and full of loopholes that favor the wealthy over the working class.

Under his plan, the IRS would gather tax information for 50 million Americans with relatively simple returns. The IRS would calculate their tax bill or refund, and mail a final report to the taxpayer, who would be able to just sign and return the form. Edwards' campaign estimates it would save taxpayers about 225 million hours annually.
