The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted an article today about President Trump<\/a>‘s proposed tax<\/a> plan. The article reports on a new study<\/a> from Boston University<\/a> economists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“We find that, depending on the year considered, the new Republican tax plan raises GDP<\/a> by between 3 and 5 percent and real wages by between 4 and 7 percent,” the economists explain. “This translates into roughly $3,500 annually more annual real take-home pay for the average American household.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Economists believe this growth can happen due to the plan’s aim to reduce the marginal effective corporate tax rate from 34.6 percent to 18.6 percent, which they believe will grow the capital stock by 12 to 20 percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The study also says every American can benefit from this tax reform framework.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The [Unified Framework] tax reform delivers small increases in lifetime welfare to current retirees and moderate ones to workers and future generations,” the study states. “All generations benefit from the policy. The old benefit slightly from higher rates of return on their investment, and the young from higher wages.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boston University study is similar to the findings from the Council of Economic Advisers<\/a> study<\/a> put out earlier this week, which said that the average household income could increase by $4,000 annually if the corporate tax rate was cut from 35 percent to 20 percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The truth is that a tax cut like this very conservatively will increase the median wage by about $4,000 a year over a relatively short time,” said<\/a> Kevin Hassett<\/a>, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. “If you look at some of the more optimistic estimates of the literature and then run the thing over time you could be looking at $10,000, even $20,000 higher wages relative to baseline, and that’s the message of this tax reform.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The economy is growing right now at a much faster rate than it did under President Obama<\/a>. There are a number of reasons for that. President Trump has been quietly removing the government regulations that were a drag on the economy. President Trump has also allowed the coal industry to resume operations and allowed other businesses to work toward American energy independence<\/a>. As a result of this, gasoline and other energy prices are relatively low right now, making America<\/a> a desirable place to do business. Also, the lower gasoline prices result in more money in all Americans’ pockets. Low gasoline prices impact everyone who drives–they are the equivalent of a tax cut for everyone. When people have more money in their pockets, they do things like go out to dinner, go shopping, or go to a movie. This puts money in the pockets of the people who work in those industries. Everybody wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
