Reducing and stabilizing federal spending is essential, but breathing life into the present anemic recovery will also require fixing the nation’s tax code to focus on jobs and growth. To repair the nation’s tax code, marginal rates must be brought down to stimulate entrepreneurship, job creation, and investment, while still raising the revenue needed to fund a smaller, smarter, simpler government. The principle of fairness must be preserved in federal tax and spending policy. Individual Taxes America’s individual tax code applies relatively high marginal tax rates on a narrow tax base. Those high rates discourage work and entrepreneurship, as well as savings and investment. With 54 percent of private sector workers employed outside of corporations, individual rates also define the incentives for job-creating businesses. Lower marginal tax rates secure for all Americans the economic gains from tax reform. •Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates •Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains •Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains •Eliminate the Death Tax •Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Corporate Taxes The U.S. economy’s 35 percent corporate tax rate is among the highest in the industrial world, reducing the ability of our nation’s businesses to compete in the global economy and to invest and create jobs at home. By limiting investment and growth, the high rate of corporate tax also hurts U.S. wages. •Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent •Strengthen and make permanent the R&D tax credit •Switch to a territorial tax system •Repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) |

As president, Mitt Romney will pursue genuine education reform that puts the interests of parents and students ahead of special interests and provides a chance for every child. He will take the unprecedented step of tying federal funds directly to dramatic reforms that expand parental choice, invest in innovation, and reward teachers for their results instead of their tenure. These policies will equip state leaders to achieve the change that can only come from commitment and action at the local level. He will also ensure that students have diverse and affordable options for higher education to give them the skills they need to succeed after graduation and that, when they graduate, they can find jobs that provide a rewarding return on their educational investment. K-12: Promoting Choice And Innovation Giving students trapped in bad schools a genuine alternative requires four things: (1) such alternatives must exist, (2) parents must receive clear information about the performance of their current school and of the alternatives, (3) students must be allowed to move to a new school, and (4) students must bring funding with them so that new schools can afford to serve them. Mitt’s reforms achieve each of these objectives: •Allow Low Income And Special Needs Students To Choose Which School To Attend By Making Title I and IDEA Funds Portable. •Provide Incentives For States To Increase Choices For Parents And Develop Quality Alternatives. •Build On The Success Of Effective Charter And Digital Schools. •Expand The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program To Serve As A Model For The Nation. K-12: Ensuring High Standards And Responsibility For Results Currently, there is little easily-available data for parents about their children’s schools. Mitt’s reforms will provide better information for parents through straightforward public report cards and will empower them to hold districts and states responsible for results. When combined with increased parental choice, this will give parents more control over their children’s education. •Reform No Child Left Behind By Emphasizing Transparency And Responsibility For Results. K-12: Recruiting And Rewarding Great Teachers A school is only as strong as its teachers, but the most promising teachers often find it difficult to reach the classroom door or receive recognition for their efforts once inside. Mitt’s reforms smooth the path for talented individuals to join the profession and shape the next generation. •Attract And Reward Great Teachers Through Increased Flexibility And Block Grants. •Eliminate Unnecessary Certification Requirements That Discourage New Teachers. Higher Ed: A New Vision Of Affordable And Applicable Learning America’s traditional community and four-year colleges are the heart of our nation’s higher education system. However, a flood of federal dollars is driving up tuition and burdening too many young Americans with substantial debt and too few opportunities. Meanwhile, other models of advanced skills training are becoming ever more important to success in the American economy, and new educational institutions will be required to fill those roles. Mitt’s reforms spur the access, affordability, innovation, and transparency needed to address all of these challenges: •Strengthen And Simplify The Financial Aid System. •Welcome Private Sector Participation Instead Of Pushing It Away. •Replace Burdensome Regulation With Innovation And Competition. |

Thee hundred bucks to haul brush to the dump? Where is the dump, Staten Island? For three hundred bucks, I can have a tandem dump load of crushed limestone delivered and spread. What would you suggest, Pat, that I do with the hour that I waste cutting grass? |
