I would target lowering the corporate rate and helping pass-through entities with cuts. Tom Send a noteboard - 30/08/2010 02:52:55 PM
I think dropping the corporate tax rate by about 10% and cutting out the penalty that pass-through entities pay in the form of self-employment taxes (i.e., double what others pay for social security, etc. ) is a good start.

Our nation can only grow if our production base is growing. The best way to quickly grow our production base is to make it easier and cheaper for businesses to operate in the United States. There may be short-term deficits run, but if we slash and burn the entitlement programs at the same time, the combination of economic growth and lower spending will start to pay off.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
