Include Foreign Income in Taxable Income. U.S. citizens living outside the country can exclude $200,000 from taxation, even if they pay no taxes to the country in which they live. While the change would continue the deduction for taxes paid to foreign governments, it would ensure tax parity with U.S. citizens.

Tax Social Security Benefits. This change would treat Social Security benefits similarly to the way defined benefit pensions are taxed

Increase Excise Taxes on Fuel to 35 Cents per Gallon. Currently, federal excise tax on a gallon of gasoline is 18.4 cents and 24.4 cents for a gallon of diesel fuel. These rates were established in 1993 when crude oil prices were $16.75 per barrel; oil prices reached over $140 per barrel in 2008 and have fallen to the low-$40 range since.
