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.
