Why can't I choose to eliminate the Bush tax cuts for both those earning less than $250k and those earning more than $250k? And then, why can't I eliminate the Bush tax cuts and then choose the eliminate loopholes but keep taxes slightly higher option along with the eliminate Bush tax cuts option?
- invisible 16y agoIronically enough, the two tax cuts both involve doing nothing and both save so much that it is half of the deficit. I can easily get it up to 300 with some tax-based changes that are a) not that bad for anyone in particular, and b) should be a burden we all have anyways.
- mbateman 16y agoI think eliminating loopholes and raising the taxes on everyone is a subset of selecting both of the tax cut eliminations. Or at least that's how the NYT sees it.
- rdl 16y agoEliminating cuts on those making less than 250k includes those above 250k as well, it is just badly presented. I don't think anyone has suggested eliminating cuts only for over 250k.
