    From the same source as my previous post:

    Senator McCain's New Tax Cuts. I don't see a payroll tax cut.

    "Increase the dependent exemption by two-thirds (phased in)

    Reduce the maximum corporate income tax rate from 35 to 25 percent (phased in)

    Allow first-year deduction of 3- and 5-year equipment, deny interest deduction (expires)

    Convert R&D credit to 10 percent of wages incurred for R&D, make permanent

    Suspend federal gas tax for summer 2008"

    ================================================== ============

    Senator Obama's New Tax Cuts. That first one sounds like a payroll tax credit/cut.

    "Refundable "Making Work Pay Credit" of 6.2 percent of up to a maximum of $8,100 of earnings

    Refundable "Universal Mortgage Credit" of 10 percent of mortgage interest for nonitemizers

    Eliminate income tax for seniors making less than $50,000 per year

    Extend childless EITC phase-in range, increase phase-out threshold

    Increase EITC phase-in rate to 45 percent for families with three or more children

    Increase to $5,000 the add-on to EITC phase-out threshold for married filers

    Make CDCTC refundable and increase maximum credit rate to 50 percent.

    Make saver's credit refundable and change formula to 50 percent match up to $1,000 of contributions

    Make permanent R&D credit and renewable energy production tax credit

    Mandate automatic 401(k)s and automatic IRAs

    Increase Hope credit: 100% match rate on up to $4,000"
