Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama and Biden will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama and Biden will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

(by the way, a credit is money, not a deduction, If you only had to pay 100 in taxes, the government GIVES you $400, or $900).

Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Obama and Biden will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses.

(again, that's a credit.)

How many of those do you suppose will actually get a check because of the fact that it's a credit and not a discount?  Anyway, there are already plenty of tax credits, so NJ5's point stands until you demonstrate that he's wrong.

The Making Work Pay tax credit sounds like an expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit, which supports NJ5's point.  (Fun fact:  The EITC has been around since 1975 and was expanded by Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush II.  Wow, I guess this would NEVER happen with Republicans!)
