- Expanding middle-income tax incentives.
- Tweaking the Affordable Care Act’s excise tax on high dollar health plans and net investment income (NII) tax.
- Imposing a fee on oil to fund infrastructure spending.
- Renewing tax proposals from previous budgets, particularly in the international and retirement savings areas.
