Giuliani Unveils “Largest tax cut in the history of America”
January 10th, 2008
Rudy Giuliani unveiled what his campaign is calling the “largest tax cut in the history of America” in Florida yesterday.
From Giuliani’s Web site the proposal would:
- Makes all the Bush tax cuts permanent, including full repeal of the death tax.
- Index the alternative minimum tax (AMT) to inflation, and eventually repeal it.
- Reduce the corporate income tax from 35 percent to 25 percent
- Cut the capital gains and qualified dividends tax rate from 15 percent to 10 percent and will index capital assets to inflation
- Replace the dozens of tax-advantaged savings accounts with a simplified system of Retirement Savings Accounts and Lifetime Savings Accounts.
- Give all Americans the ability to purchase health insurance pre-tax through a health care standard deduction.
- Create an alternate “Fair And Simple Tax (FAST)†system that American families and small businesses could choose to go into each year, with a three-bracket structure, a 30 percent top rate, and only the most popular deductions in place.

This is a pretty aggressive tax cut for a candidate who is committed to continuing to fight the war on terror. And just how does Rudy plan to pay for the continued fight if he makes all these tax cuts?
