"RALEIGH — Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on
proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts —
including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the
Social Security Administration."

*Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal
the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law
enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police
officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and
fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense
measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while
keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have
them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this
country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault
Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields
and not on our streets"
* Lower People's Interest Payments by Creating a New Mortgage Interest
Tax Credit: Many middle class Americans do not receive the existing
mortgage interest tax deduction because they do not itemize their taxes.
Obama and Biden will ensure that middle-class Americans get the
financial assistance they need to purchase or keep their own home by
creating a 10 percent universal mortgage credit that gives tax relief to
10 million Americans who have a home mortgage.
* Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing throughout Metropolitan
Regions: Communities prosper when all families have access to affordable
housing. Barack Obama and Joe Biden supported efforts to create an
Affordable Housing Trust Fund to create thousands of new units of
affordable housing every year. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will also
restore cuts to public housing operating subsidies, and ensure that all
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs are restored
to their original purpose.
* Increase the Minimum Wage: As president, Obama will raise the minimum
wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011 and index it to inflation so full-time
workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families
and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing –
things so many people take for granted.
