Book Synopsis What Went Wrong with the Bush Tax Cuts by : Matthew D. Mitchell
Download or read book What Went Wrong with the Bush Tax Cuts written by Matthew D. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics of the Bush tax cuts often dismiss the tax changes as a failed experiment in free-market economics. Noting that economic growth was slower in the years following the cuts than in the years preceding them, some critics see the experience as evidence that tax cuts simply do not work. But the claim that these tax cuts exemplified free-market economic thinking is baseless. In this paper we show that the Bush tax cuts had a number of problems from a market-oriented perspective: they were phased in slowly, they were set to expire within a decade, they entailed a Keynesian emphasis on stimulating aggregate demand, and -- above all -- they were undertaken without any effort to reduce spending. In light of these problems, there is no reason to overturn decades of theoretical and empirical research supporting the link between low taxation and growth. The episode offers a cautionary lesson in how not to cut taxes.

Book Synopsis Why the Reagan and Bush Tax-cuts are Unfair by : Walter F. Picca
Download or read book Why the Reagan and Bush Tax-cuts are Unfair written by Walter F. Picca and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical analysis of the Reagan and Bush tax cuts, which favored the richest Americans and are a major cause of the soaring federal deficits. It explains how Bush misrepresented the tax cuts. It explains why the federal budget deficits are bogus, how executive stock options are abused, and it defends the estate tax, which Bush wants to repeal and calls-"the Dead Tax." It alleges the government has become a plutocracy during the Bush administration: the rich have become super rich and the poor have become poorer-because of the lopsided and irresponsible tax cuts. The SECOND EDITION contains the 2007 UPDATE. It charges President Bush misrepresented the federal deficit reduction in his 2007 address to the nation. It includes letters to Warren Buffett, Lee Iacocca, and Al Gore. It compares statements from Lee Iacocca's book: Where Have All the Leaders Gone-that agree with this book: Why the Reagan and Bush Tax Cuts are Unfair. It comments on Al Gore's new book: The Assault on Reason, the Iraq war, Islamofascism, torture, Guantanamo Bay, and other things: plus-Tax Recommendations.

Book excerpt: "In this book, Bartlett attacks the Bush Administration's economic performance root and branch, from the "stovepiping" of its policy process to the coercive tactics used to ram its policies through Congress, to the effects of the policies themselves. He is especially hard on Bush s enormous new Medicare entitlement and predicts that within a few years, Bush's tax cuts and unrestricted spending will produce an economic crisis that will require a major tax increase, probably in the form of a European-style VAT."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Bad Ideas by : Bryan Jones
Download or read book The Politics of Bad Ideas written by Bryan Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-29 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly anticipated addition to the "Great Questions in Politics" series offers a provocative argument about the persistence of bad ideas in shaping American economic policy. The result of a collaboration between political scientist Bryan D. Jones and economist Walter Williams, The Politics of Bad Ideas is indispensable reading for any study of American government, public policy, or economic and budgetary analysis. The Politics of Bad Ideas examines why, over the last quarter century, bad economic ideas -- such as cutting taxes without cutting spending -- have become so influential in shaping government policies. Using in-depth research and trenchant political and economic analysis, the book explores why those bad ideas continue to survive despite overwhelming evidence that they in fact cause damage to the federal government's long-term fiscal stability and the American economy.

Book Synopsis Taxing the Future by : Arjay and Frances Miller Chair in Federal Economic Policy Director Retirement Security Project and Co-Director William G Gale
Download or read book Taxing the Future written by Arjay and Frances Miller Chair in Federal Economic Policy Director Retirement Security Project and Co-Director William G Gale and published by . This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax cuts were the central economic policy focus of the Bush administration from 2001 to 2004. Every year, the administration advocated and succeeded in enacting significant tax reductions, all of which expire by the end of the decade. These policies represent a major shift in the design and impact of the American tax system. Additional changes proposed by the administration--to dramatically expand tax-preferred saving accounts and to make the existing tax cuts permanent--would move even farther in new directions. This book provides an economic assessment of the Bush administration's past and ongoing drive for tax cuts. William Gale and Peter Orszag, noted scholars in tax policy, provide historical context for the administration's tax policy and examine its effect on both short- and long-term economic growth. The authors assess the consequences for the federal budget from the enacted and proposed changes in the tax system and examine who wins and who will ultimately lose from the overall effects of the tax cuts. They also examine the links between the administration's tax agenda, government spending, and broader-based tax reform options. Taxing the Future emphasizes that low- and moderate-income households in future generations may ultimately be the ones who pay the most to finance today's tax reductions.

Book Synopsis The High-Income Rate Reductions by : Alan D. Viard
Download or read book The High-Income Rate Reductions written by Alan D. Viard and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress is considering allowing the Bush tax cuts' rate reductions for high-income households to expire at the end of 2010 while providing a deficit-financed extension of the middle-class portion of the tax cuts. This combination would damage economic growth by hiking marginal tax rates on saving and investment while swelling the budget deficit. The vulnerable state of the high-income rate reductions is largely due to the failure of supporters of the Bush tax cuts to make the economic-growth case for these reductions.

Book Synopsis The Bush Tax Cut and National Saving by : Alan J. Auerbach
Download or read book The Bush Tax Cut and National Saving written by Alan J. Auerbach and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following through on pledges made during his election campaign, President Bush proposed and Congress passed a substantial tax cut in 2001, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA). Much has been written about the size of the tax cut, its impact on the federal budget, its distributional consequences, and its short-run macroeconomic impact. There has been less focus on EGTRRA's incentive effects; one of the most important potential behavioral effects is on saving. To analyze the behavioral effects of the Bush tax cut on saving and other macroeconomic variables, I use the Auerbach-Kotlikoff (1987) model in conjunction with the NBER's TAXSIM model. An interesting by-product of this analysis is the 'dynamic scorin g' of the tax cut - the estimated feedback effects of behavior on revenue. By comparing the revenue losses generated by the model with those that would occur without any behavioral response, one can estimate how much of the static revenue loss would be recouped by expanded economic activity. The simulations suggest that dynamic scoring has a significant impact on estimated revenue losses, but that the tax cut's impact on national saving is still negative in the long run

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the federal income tax was significantly expanded in 1940, several dozen major tax bills have been enacted. Inevitably, discussions (and disagreements) have arisen concerning the relative size of the bills effects on federal revenues.This paper uses revenue estimates from Treasury and the Joint Committee on Taxation to compare the relative size of the revenue effect of the major tax bills enacted after 1939 using four different measures. An appendix provides a short list of the major provisions in the bills.
