Capital gains & income averaging.

Great. What is it?

According to the Department of Labor, Unemployment Compensation has a multiplier effect of 2. Meaning for every dollar spent on unemployment insurance, this report finds an increase in economic activity of two dollars.

BTW - I found that by just Googling "Economic Multiplier Unemployment Compensation".

So you're telling me the people who have jobs handing out money think that handing out money works swell?

Well, gosh, that's a shocker!

He cut more than payroll taxes. Are you saying you're smarter than Obama?

He also raised taxes on the wealthy in order to pay for Obamacare, among other things. So he offset cuts with increases elsewhere. He let the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy expire (when you all warned the sky would fall if he did). So it's a mixed bag. I happen to think any tax cut is pointless, but that's just my opinion. I am not President.

He also raised taxes on the wealthy

His cuts were in 2009.

I happen to think any tax cut is pointless,

Of course you do.
Any dollar not spent by government is a waste, eh comrade?

Capital Gains Tax Rates and Economic Growth (or not)

If you read the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal (or surf around the nether regions of Forbes.com), you may come to the conclusion that no aspect of tax policy is more important for economic growth than the way we tax capital gains. You’d be wrong

Capital Gains Tax Rates and Economic Growth (or not)

Non-Partisan Congressional Tax Report Debunks Core Conservative Economic Theory

The conclusion?

Lowering the tax rates on the wealthy and top earners in America do not appear to have any impact on the nation’s economic growth.

This paragraph from the report says it all—

“The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.”
