Visualizing the Romney Tax Debate
Visualizing the Romney Tax Debate☜Tax 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?☜F1CEB7

Misinterprets Auerbach studies
Misinterprets Auerbach studies☜Two of the cited studies involve Alan Auerbach, generally recognized as one of Americas most prominent tax economists. But Auerbach has apparently disavowed their interpretation of the studies (see article by Ezra Klein cited below).☜FFFACD

Studied tax proposals different
Studied tax proposals different☜The kind of tax reform considered in the studies cited by the Romney economic advisers where different from Mitt Romneys current proposal. Hence the conclusions do not hold.☜FFFACD

Use of 2009 baseline
Use of 2009 baseline☜To produce his estimates Feldstein uses IRS data for 2009, the most recent year for which data is available - but also the worst year for the recession. Selecting a year when tax revenue was low artificially reduces the cost of the rate cuts - and the concession changes needed to offset them.☜FFFACD

Micro-behavioral offsets »
Micro-behavioral offsets
Micro-behavioral offsets☜One of the authors of the TPC analysis argues that Rosen expects taxpayers to adjust their behavior to rate cuts, but fails to do so in a symmetrical fashion for reduced tax concessions. These would offset revenue gains from the former.☜FFFACD

Political resistance »
Political resistance
Political resistance☜The TPC and its defenders point out that they have been conservative in their analysis in that they have set the bar low for the Romney plan - only testing if it is mathematically possible. Given the popularity of many of the concessions many of the mooted changes would be hard to do in practise.☜FFFACD
