tengen Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm all for simplifying taxes and ensuring they are fair, and I won't complain if a tax cut puts more cash in my pocket. However, here's an article from a former Reagan advisor arguing that tax cuts are not the magic solution to economic growth that some people imagine them to be. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/09/28/i-helped-create-the-gop-tax-myth-trump-is-wrong-tax-cuts-dont-equal-growth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkbabang Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Low taxes are necessary, but not sufficient. Just as important are reasonable, easy to follow rules and regulations, and free foreign trade. Taxes should be lower rather than higher, simple rather than complex, across the board rather than picking winners and losers. Rules and regulations should be clearer rather than vague, easy to follow rather than complex, and minimal rather than overwhelming. Your market should be the entire world for both buying and selling at every level of production. Trumps tax plan is just nibbling around the edges, it will do a little bit of good, maybe, but won't have major effects either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Well duh.... Anyone with a good understanding of macroeconomics knows that tax cuts don't equal growth. But i guess ideologues will ideologue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
