Are the Bush Tax Cuts Working?
Source: National Center for Policy Analysis -- However, if Congress makes the tax cuts permanent, the major economic benefits begin in 2011.
According to the Center for Data Analysis at the Heritage Foundation:13
- Significant economic gains will occur throughout the period from 2006-2014, particularly after 2008.
- For example, making certain that taxes on investment remain low will add about 285,000 jobs per year in fiscal years 2008 and 2009.
- In those two years alone, lower taxes on capital gains and dividends mean an additional $70 billion in economic output and an additional $110 billion in disposable income for households.
- On average, total employment will rise by 1,087,000 jobs per year, and after inflation, annual GDP will be over $111 billion higher.
- Personal savings will grow by $163 billion per year, on average, after inflation.
- After-tax household income will grow by an annual average of $274 billion per year, after inflation.![]()
