The Bush tax cuts in 2010.
08/05/2010
In the face of rising deficits, and questions about the future solvency of Medicare and Social Security, there are questions about the Bush tax cuts which expire in December 2010 if not renewed. With high unemployment the consensus seems to be to leave the tax cuts in place for a limited period, and have serious conversation about taxes when a new presidential term begins. A Value added Tax has been suggested by Paul Volcker, similar to that in Europe.

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.
