Abstract
This paper discusses the political dilemma the Democrats are in due to President Bush's tax cuts. It explains that if Democrats are against the tax cuts, it looks bad. If they are for them, they risk, not only the huge deficits, but also a lack of money to fund any of the programs Democrats have historically favored, such as expanding services to the elderly.
From the Paper
"The bad news is not over yet?and it lies in facts Altman didn?t even dump into his frightening, but all too likely, scenario. People are living longer every year, and medical breakthroughs are hardly likely to stop. Olian provides the chilling information that ?life expectancy continues it upward trend from 68 years in 1950, to almost 77 in 2000.? So in addition to paying for the elderly, more substantially than any generation has in the past, the next two generations?current college students and their parents?are likely to pay for the elderly longer than ever before."

Abstract
This paper analyzes a 2003 article regarding the Bush tax cuts and argues that the cuts are in accordance with the principles of John Maynard Keynes. The paper discusses the theory that tax cuts can result in federal deficits that can lead to increased interest rates.
From the Paper
"Monetary and fiscal policy are the two primary mechanisms used to stimulate and slow the economy. Monetary policy uses the availability of money-interest rates for example-to control how much money is available for investment and spending in the market. Fiscal policy on the other hand uses taxation and government spending to accelerate or decelerate the economy. While there can be many different goals for controlling capitalist economies, the overriding goal is to keep a balance between inflation-rising prices-and deflation. Inflation is sometimes described ..."

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the topic of the Bush tax cuts. Specifically, it examines the potential effect of the Bush tax cuts on the economy over the next three years. It looks at how the cuts are a controversial measure to boost the nation's economy during a time of economic stagnation and crisis and how, although they began in 2001 and have continued with revisions through 2003, much of their economic effect on the nation's monetary situation will continue for the next three years and beyond.
From the Paper
"While not all of the state and local governments' woes can be blamed on the Bush Tax Cuts, the tax cuts did add to the financial difficulties of the states. They have affected state and local taxpayers with higher taxes on a variety of services, from education to health care and corrections. These higher taxes are often move than any tax cuts received from the Federal Government, and so, the Federal Tax Cuts are negated by the higher state and local taxes. In addition, most states will not see light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon. In fact, states are grappling with many issues in the tax cuts, including the loss of estate tax revenues that will affect states for the next three years, and far beyond."

Abstract
In a "Washington Post" article entitled "House Passes Major Tax Cut for Businesses", author Jonathan Weisman discusses the public policy issue of corporate tax cuts. The public policy described is at a development stage and reflects what is largely a federal issue. The policy is criticized for potentially having a direct conflict with public health policies on smoking. This paper explains that stakeholders are diverse and include American businesses, special interest groups, and residents of several states with no current income tax. Government departments directly involved in the policy are the House of Representatives and the Senate. The paper shows that ,overall, critics argue that the policy results in financial costs and support of special interest agendas, although the policy supports good government by addressing the policy issue of European Union export subsidy sanctions.
From the Paper
"Overall, the policy has drawn criticism that it reflects poor public policy. Notes Weisman, "the main criticism focused on the special-interest provisions secured by business lobbyists." Further, criticism has also focused on potentially increased costs of the bill beyond the $153 billion cut in business taxes over 10 years. Critics argue that extension of other tax breaks and the phasing in of other tax breaks will make the final toll much higher. Potentially, critics argue that the total cost of the House bill could be $260 billion."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Reagan Administration managed to pass tax cuts in order to cover some of the country's deficit during the 1980's. It looks at the origins of "stagflation" and what Reagan's agenda was. The paper examines the statistics of reduction in government spending and how this was governed by the Administration's policies.
From the Paper
"In the 1970s the economy hit the followers of complacency economics with a severe blow. The 70s began in the middle of a recession and the Vietnam war, and it inherited all of the problems created in the proceeding decade as well as a quasi-war economy. (Sahu, Ronald 1991) Just as the war ended OPEC?s Arab member states declared a kind of economic war on the already inflation plagued U.S. economy by withholding their oil exports. This, coupled with other supply side problems in the U.S. economy ended up creating stagflation, the coupling of economic growth being stagnant while U.S. prices continued to rise. Stagflation made a trade-off between price stability and unemployment seem obsolete. The 1970s ended with the threat of another recession, this was forecasted in 1978 and 1979 but did not actually arrive until 1980, the year Ronald Reagan was elected President."

Abstract
Tax policies recently introduced into the United States House of Representatives will effectively reduce the tax burden for the average citizen in Florida. This paper discusses how, despite Democratic concerns over the expanding federal deficit, it is clear that the effect of bills like H.R. 4275, which made permanent the 10-percent tax bracket for the first $7,000 of income, will result in more money in the pockets of American citizens, including citizens of Florida.
From the Paper
"On May 13, 2004, the United States House of Representatives put forward bill H.R.4275, also known as the 10 Percent Tax Bracket Extension and Permanency Act. Sponsored by Republican Pete Sessions, this bill was designed to "amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend the 10-percent individual income tax rate bracket". The bill was successfully passed, by a vote of 344 pro to 76 against (Library of Congress)."

The Bush Tax Cut, 2002.
This paper is a study of President George W. Bush's 2000 income tax cut.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the 2000 post-election income tax cut by President George W. Bush. It illustrates that the top one percent of the American economy are the main benefactors of the tax cut, and the general irresponsibility of this political action in this period of downsizing and terrorism. The author envisions a growing defict, as often seen in other war thirsty Republican presidencies.
From the Paper
"When President George W. Bush precariously entered office in 2000, he did so with a showy economic package that proposed to reduce income tax by 1.6 trillion dollars. While many economists and analysts asserted that such a promise was fiscally irresponsible, the Bush campaign, and shortly thereafter, the Bush administration insisted aggressively that the national surplus, a relic of happier economic times, would provide a cushion for a tax cut. In 2001, Congress rolled over and welcomed a 1.35 trillion dollar tax cut."

Impact of the Bush Tax Cut, 2006.
A review of the impact of the Bush tax cut on the American economy.

Abstract
This paper examines the potential impact of the proposed Bush tax cut by reviewing how it would affect demand for products and whether it would stimulate job creation -- both factors that could lead to long-term economic growth. After a brief explanation of supply and demand theory, the paper critiques the White House's claim that the tax cut would give a family of four an additional $1600 annually. The paper concludes that any individual gain would likely be offset by the national loss: wide-scale slashing of federal budgets for social services, including for children and the elderly.
From the Paper
"It is no secret that America's economy is in a bad way. People are losing their jobs, home foreclosures are up, and most economic indicators are heading south and have been heading south for the past several years. In order to remedy this problem, President Bush has proposed massive tax cuts in every year of his presidency. Although none of his tax cuts have made it through congress full strength, there have been tax cuts every year of Bush's presidency. Bush's original tax cut called for a 726 billion dollar tax cut over the next ten year. Due to political circumstances, Bush has said that he will accept a tax cut of 550 billion dollars over the next ten years. Bush argues that the bad economy needs tax cuts, that lower taxes will help the economy grow again."

Abstract
This paper begins by explaining the difference between a public debt and a federal debt and then takes a look at President Bush's tax-cut policy, the theory behind why it is supposed to help the economy, its effects, and its implications for American citizens and the American economy.
From the Paper
"A debt that has been accumulated by the Federal Government in either its Treasury or in its Financing Bank is referred to as a ?Public Debt?. The debt could have been incurred by either the selling of ?securities? and bonds to the public, or through the borrowing of funds from a Federal account. A public debt can also be defined as the total amount that the Federal Government has accrued due to all its borrowings in the past. (Definition of Public Debt) Federal Debt, on the other hand, can be defined as the total amount of debt that is owed by the Federal Government that is as yet unpaid. A federal debt can consist of both public debt and agency debt. A federal debt is made up of the funds owed to the Treasury, in the form of Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes, and also Treasury Bonds."

From the Paper
"Introduction
No one enjoys paying taxes of any type, although they are now an unavoidable fact of American life. Income taxes did not exist until the early part of this century; for more than half of this nation's history, the government was financed without taxing the income of individuals. When that changed, the political landscape changed as well. Politicians now had to justify the spending programs which the taxes went to support (originally, the income tax paid off World War I), and the role of government began to change. The Internal Revenue Service is now a labyrinthine bureaucracy with complicated codes and rules which most Americans find confusing. For years, any politician who called for a decrease in income taxes was likely to find immediately support among voters. However, when presidential candidate Bob Dole called .."

"Democratic and Republican Tax Policy Proposals
This paper will discuss the Republican and Democratic campaign proposals for changes in Federal tax policy. It should be noted that most of these proposals are vague; few details as to specific changes in the tax code have been announced by either candidate.
There are really two sets of proposals made by President Bush. The first changes were proposed in January of 1992 but rejected by Congress. Some of these proposals were then incorporated into H.R. 11, a bill originally aimed at aiding the inner cities in the wake of the Los Angeles riots but eventually evolving into a broad tax bill. The second set was proposed during the course of the last four months of the presidential campaign, largely in response to criticism that President Bush.."

This paper investigates whether and how the federal income tax receipts change given the overall tax rate for individual income taxes. The paper also investigates whether the tax receipts exhibit a diminishing return as marginal tax rates increase. The paper concludes that there exists a meaningful relationship between the marginal income tax rate and the marginal income tax receipts.

From the Paper
"Now, disregarding all the statistical minutia that may or may not be relevant the author will make the following observations regarding the alternate model. This model is depicting the predictive power of the variance of the marginal individual income tax rates among all five income quintiles to the income tax receipts at the federal level. It is apparent from the model that nearly a quarter of the variation in the marginal tax receipts can be predicted through the marginal tax rate, ceteris paribus."

From the Paper
"This research compares, contrasts and critiques the U.S. Congress 1995 flat tax proposals with the 1986 tax format. The research also discusses the benefits and disadvantages of each for taxpayers. The Armey-Shelby flat tax, the most well known of the flat tax proposals, is based on the supply-side economics of former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack F. Kemp, who co-authored the Reagan tax cuts in 1981. Most of the flat tax proposals are similar in nature. All make major changes to the current tax code, which is based on the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The flat tax propositions are the first major proposed revisions of the Tax Code since that act.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was the first significant revision of the tax code since World War II, when the tax code was converted into a broad-based tax (Snow, 1992, p. 139). It..."

Flat Tax and Sales Tax, 1999.
Examines pros and cons of the fairness and effectiveness of two consumption-based reforms to correct deficiences and injustices in the tax system.

From the Paper
"This research paper examines the potential advantages and disadvantages from a public policy standpoint of various types of consumption-based taxes which have been proposed to remedy the deficiencies of the current federal tax system. A flat tax, rigorously applied, would be far superior to the present system because it would be simpler, fairer, a more efficient way of collecting public revenues and consistent with optimizing economic growth. However, it would benefit disproportionately higher income individual taxpayers, certain property owners and business generally and impose crushing burdens on lower income and many middle income taxpayers who depend on personal services income for maintaining their way of life and who consume most of..."
