Keywords:
Feldstein's proposal for a 2% cap on reduction in taxes from deductions and exclusions.
05/04/2011
Feldstein says its important to increases taxes not tax rates. And the the way to go is to follow the President's Bowles-Simpson Deficit Commission's proposal on tax expenditures. As it is politically difficult to eliminate deductions and exclusions he suggests another proposal- limit the reduction in taxes with a 2% of adjusted gross income cap on the reduction any taxpayer gets.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
