协议中纳入积极增长也非常重要。2010年工资税优惠和奖金应税额折减,应该与紧急失业保险及其他即将到期的措施一起延期。延期的成本可能为每年2000亿美元,将净支出削减额减至3万亿美元。
That leaves at least $1.5tn of revenue increases to truly solve the debt problem. Two-thirds of that can be achieved by returning to the, slightly higher, Clinton-era tax rates on income and capital for high earners. Those rates coincided with an economic boom in the 1990s. Our income tax system is now less progressive than ever and a big majority favours such a move. Then, to reach the revenue target, the value of most tax deductions could be capped at about 20 per cent, removing the advantage high earners enjoy, where the value of deductions equals their higher rate of tax.
到这里,要真正解决债务问题,至少还要增加1.5万亿美元的财政收入。通过重新实行克林顿时期对高收入人群征收的较高的所得税率和资本税率,可以完成财政增收目标的三分之二。那一时期正好是上世纪九十年代的经济繁荣期。目前所得税累进性是美国历史上最差的时候,因此绝大多数人都赞成回归克林顿时期的做法。那么,为了完成财政收入目标,可以对大多数应税收益额减免设定20%的上限,这样就消除了高收入人群享有的优势,因为其享受的应税收益额减免与缴纳的较高税率相抵。
