Это, кажется, когда дефицита бюджета стал стремительно расти? Я охотно верю, что экономический рост наступит вследствие снижения налогов. А чо делать с дефицитом бюджета?
А я, кстати, не думаю что снижение налогов играет такую решающую роль в развитии бизнеса.
снижение налогов - типичная республиканская мантра, именно мантра потому что никаких других свежих идей они придумать не могут.
The most reliable fault line in American politics is taxes. Democrats and Republicans might switch sides on individual mandates, on civil liberties, on government secrecy, on cap-and-trade, and much more. But if you can count on anything, it’s that Democrats want to raise taxes and Republicans want to cut them.
Actually, these days, you can’t even count on that.
Tax policy right now is weird, and it’s weird because huge portions of our tax code are expiring. The law, as it’s currently written, says they’re just going away. The Bush tax cuts, which are worth around $5 trillion over the next decade, are set to disappear at the end of the year.
But they’re not the only tax cuts set to expire. There are also the tax cuts that President Obama passed in the stimulus and renewed in the 2010 tax deal — things like the expanded child tax credit, and the payroll tax cut. And, importantly, these are tax cuts that mostly help lower-income Americans. They’re progressive tax cuts.
And Republicans don’t want to extend them.
Citizens for Tax Justice looked at just two of these provisions, the expanded earned income tax credit and the expanded child tax credit, and found that if they expire, 13.1 million families would face an average tax increase of $843.
