OBAMA & SENIORS. Also worth noting is that Barack Obama will be holding his own forum with seniors tomorrow in Ames, Iowa, and that this week he released a plan to eliminate income taxes for seniors who earn less than $50,000. That promise is likely to end taxes for the vast majority of seniors in Iowa, considering that if you make $60,000 a year out there you’re pretty close to rich.
