Visualizing the Romney Tax Debate »
Visualizing the Romney Tax Debate
Visualizing the Romney Tax DebateâTax reform has emerged as a major bone of contention in the 2012 Presidential election campaign. While President Obama has identified some tax changes, Governor Romney proposes major systemic reform. But is his plan - especially the proposals for individual taxation - viable?âF1CEB7

3. FeldsteinâHarvard economist Martin Feldstein has defended the Romney plan in two articles (see citations). His approach differs from Rosen and Entin/McBride in that he relies on historical evidence that taxable income will rise rather than a growth simulation that implies increased revenue.âFFFACD

Elasticity too high
Elasticity too highâIn his original paper Feldstein assumes that raising the after-tax share of earnings an individual keeps by 10% increases taxable income by 5% - the elasticity of the tax base is 0.5 - reducing the cost of rate reduction by $33 billion. Critics claim this elasticity is too high.âFFFACD

Revised Feldstein
Revised FeldsteinâIn response to objections, Feldstein produced a revised version of his analysis with assumptions closer to those of his critics. He stands by the core claim of his first paper - that the Romney scheme of cutting rates funded by base broadening without burdening the middle class - is viable.âFFFACD

Figure is arbitrary
Figure is arbitraryâSome have suggested the benchmark definition of high income set by the TPC (and in the general political debate) is too high and have called for analysis where it is set at lower levels. For example Martin Feldstein has defended a $100,000 since this only subjects the top 21% to base broadening.âFFFACD
