Obama Says It's Time For Tax Changes

By Dan Gorenstein on Wednesday, December 19, 2007.

Presidential candidate Barack Obama traveled across the state Wednesday.

He held rallies in Nashua and Manchester.

In Concord, he outlined a number of his economic proposals.

He says he will repeal tax-cuts for the wealthiest Americans and provide tax relief to families earning less than $75,000 a year.

The candidate told reporters that he doesn't think economic changes will come easy, but he's prepared to fight.

"We'll hear from the can't do, won't do, won't even try crowd in Washington, and the conventional thinking that this country is just too divided to make progress."

Obama says the country could pay for many of his economic proposals through a combination of changing the tax structure, and reducing costs in Iraq.
