WHAT THE DEAL INCLUDES Published: Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 - 12:00 am \| Page 12A http://www.sacbee.com/terms-of-service The scaled-back package, which would raise about $600 billion in new revenue over the next decade from the wealthiest 2 percent of households, would also: • Extend unemployment benefits for 2 million Americans. • Prevent about 30 million taxpayers from having to pay the alternative minimum tax. • Keep Medicare payments to doctors at the current rate. • Extend tax credits for children and college tuition. • Provide tax breaks to clean-energy companies. • Raise the estate tax, but significantly less than Democrats had wanted. The value of estates over $5 million would be taxed at 40 percent, up from 35 percent. • Taxes on capital gains and dividends would remain the same, 15 percent, for most taxpayers, but they would climb to 20 percent for top earners.
