Taxes And The Romney Tax Plan

Romney Tax Plan

If you are looking for information on the 2010 taxes and what the Romney tax plan is if he wins the election, maybe this will help you.

One of the things that Romney said he does not want to do is cut taxes for the well off. He said that high income taxpayers will have fewer exemptions and deductions. He said that if those numbers didn’t come down, they’d get a tax break. Romney said that he is proposing a reduction in the tax rate but that he also wants to close exemptions and deductions at the high end so that the revenues will stay the same. He also wants to lower the heavy load on the middle income people. Another thing he wants to cut individual income tax rates, reduce tax preferences, reduce the corporate income tax, eliminate the estate tax, and more. As for the taxes enacted in the 2010 health reform legislation, he wants to repeal it and the AMT.

The plan would reduce the six income tax rates so that the top rate would go down to 28 percent and the bottom rate would go down to 8 percent. The Repeal of the AMP would increase tax savings from rate cuts.

The Republican candidate Rick Santorum has a tax plan that would cut taxes, for Americans, but increase the budget deficit by nine-hundred billion in a year. This was reflected in a recent study. The more the deficit increases, the less the American dollars is worth. His plan is a short term fix, with no long term benefits.

The taxes 2012 Santorum plan would create a substantial tax cut of approximately seven-thousand and eight-hundred dollars for about sixty-nine percent of Americans. The problem with his proposal is that the households, which would benefit the most, are the richest ones in the country. Individuals, who make more than one-million a year, might receive a tax cut package of approximately four-hundred and forty-two, thousand dollars. Most households with an income of fifty-thousand to seventy-five thousand would receive about two-thousand and sixty-two dollars.

Santorum’s tax cuts are extremely beneficial to corporations, by cutting their taxes in half. Corporation that now pay thirty-five percent in taxes, would only pay around seventeen percent. The wealthy would get a lower tax rate on their investment income from fifteen percent to twelve percent. He would get rid of the marriage tax penalties and increase aid for dependent children. Single parent families would conversely receive tax increases. However, none of these tax changes would be fully established until 1215.

Rick Santorum’s budget will increase the deficit, benefit corporations, and the wealthy. It is time to stop writing checks on an empty account. The last thing this country needs is another short-sighted economic agenda.
