Under the Obama-Biden plan, 27 million American seniors will also not need to file an income tax return. • Obama and Biden will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less thanfiveminutes.

Missing adventurer's plane wreck found WASHINGTON (APJ — Desperate to avoid another market-crushing defeat, House leaders won key converts Thursday to the $700 billion financial industry bailout on the eve of a make-or-break second vote. President Bush and congressional leaders lobbied furiously for the dozen or so supporters they'd need to reverse Monday's stunning setback and approve a massive rescue plan designed to stave off national economic disaster. Anything but reassured, investors sent the Dow Jones industrials plunging another 348 points, suggesting Wall Street is expecting tougher economic times even if the measure is rushed into law.

BARNS • Entrepreneurs are at the heart of American innovation, growth and prosperity. John McCain will keep the top tax rate at 35 percent, maintain the 15 percent rates on dividends and capital gains, and phase-out the Alternative Minimum Tax. • A lower corporate tax rate is essential to keeping good jobs in the United States. We now have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world, making America a less-attractive place for companies to do business. American workers deserve the chance to makefineproducts here and sell them around the globe. * • Establishing a permanent tax credit equal to 10 percent of wages spent on R&D will simplify the tax code, reward activity in the United States, and make us more competitive with other countries. At a time when our companies need to be more competitive, we need to provide a permanent incentive to innovate, and remove the uncertainty now hanging over businesses as they make R&D investment decisions.
