 John Tamny on John Podesta, the Center for American Progress, and Tax Reform on NRO Financial
In the 1960s President John F. Kennedy said “it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates [the above-mentioned 91 percent] are too high today and tax revenues are too low — and the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now.” Kennedy’s tax cuts were passed after his assassination.
Just as the tax-reform proposal of Podesta’s group fails to account for the disappearance of incomes when they are taxed at higher rates, it also fails to see that as the top tax rate in a country rises, the workweek often shrinks.
Podesta’s tax reformers see capital-gains tax cuts as “tax giveaways for the wealthiest taxpayers.” Again they miss the point.

 Letters: John Podesta vs. John Tamny on Tax Reform on NRO Financial
John Tamny’s review of the Center for American Progress’s tax plan (“Podesta’s Backwards Tax-Reform Plan”) is a mixed-up critique using tired, discredited, supply-side rhetoric.
John Tamny replies: John Podesta seems to suggest that he either hasn’t read my NRO Financial piece, “Podesta’s Backwards Tax-Reform Plan,” or doesn’t understand what exactly his Center for American Progress (CAP) is proposing.
In defending the plan’s income-tax proposal, Podesta correctly points out that “wealthier Americans” have “benefited the most from the Bush tax policies.” But he misses the fact that since “wealthier Americans” pay most of the taxes, any marginal rate cut is always going to disproportionately benefit them.
