The GOP could sign off on keeping the Bush tax rates for 98% of Americans but choose not to do so. That would reduce the impact on most Americans to the 2% increase in the employee share of FICA. Personally I’d rather see ALL rates go back to the Clinton ones and then negotiate.
One key component of tax reform would be to have capital gains taxed as regular income to stop having all of the gamesmanship to declare regular income ‘capital gains’ and to stop the ‘carried interest’ loophole.
It’d also be good to see a 1:1 cut/tax ratio with the goal of getting a surplus budget in 2017 by getting 1/4 of the way there each year. Showing the world’s financiers that we have an actual plan that isn’t ‘over the rainbow’ would create more positive sentiment than the damage from reducing consumption at those levels.
