President Obama will head to Boise, Idaho, to begin campaigning for the agenda he plans to roll out Tuesday night at his annual State of the Union address to Congress.
The White House announced the trip Sunday morning.
The president will deliver an address at Boise State University, where he’ll “deliver remarks and discuss the themes he’ll lay out in his State of the Union address.”
Obama will propose an agenda aimed at benefiting middle and lower-income workers through billions of dollars of tax increases on the rich, according to the White House. His plan would also make a community college education free, which would cost $60 billion over ten years.
Tax credits for working families would come from closing loopholes in the system and raising rates on capital gains and dividends rates on families earning more than $500,000 annually, from 23.8 percent to 28 percent. Overall, the plan would raise $320 billion in 10 years, according to the White House.
