In their efforts to portray him as simply a factotum for the rich, Mr Ryan’s opponents frequently ignore what he has to say. For instance, Mr Ryan’s budget was widely criticised for finding savings from the elimination of tax deductions without naming any to eliminate. But when I questioned Mr Ryan about this at a breakfast with journalists a few months ago, his answer was both clear and sensible: he would means-test all tax deductions, including the big ones for mortgage-interest and charitable contributions. This is a sound way to extract more taxes from the wealthy, without raising marginal rates. If he did not spell it out in his budget outline, it is because he has yet to develop a consensus around the idea inside the Republican caucus.
为了将瑞安描绘为富人的勤杂工,他的对手们经常忽略他的立常比如说,瑞安的预算方案遭到广泛的批评,被指责一方面提出从取消税收减免中获得收入,一方面又没有指明取消哪些税收减免。但几个月之前,瑞安在与记者共进早餐时我问他这个问题的时候,他的回答既明确又明智:对于所有的税收减免他都将进行经济状况调查,包括抵押贷款利息和慈善捐赠等享有的较大的税收减免。这是从富人征收更多税的好方法,同时又不会提高边际税率。如果说他没有在其预算规划中列出这一条,那是因为他还需要在共和党党团会议上就这个想法达成一致。
