Subscribe Email: Ecological Tax Reform: Composting the Gridlock NBL 4.9 May 2, 1995 Tax reform is all the rage these days, and proposals abound. Even the flat tax (dismissed as silly when proposed by presidential candidate Jerry Brown in 1992, now taken quite seriously when proferred by Dick Armey) is getting serious scrutiny. Not because they're the best ideas, not even because taxes are too high (they're lower in US than any industrialized country) but because the tax system is perceived as out of control, and people want to do "something." Overlooked in the traditional liberal vs. conservative debate is a powerful new idea that could break the ideological gridlock. In a recent article entitled "The Tax Shift," four leading economic thinkers ask a question that could shift the debate: "Why do we tax what we want more oflike incomeinstead of taxing what we want less oflike pollution, and depletion of finite natural resources?" Why indeed? Written by economists Robert Costanza and Herman Daly, businessman and author Paul Hawken, and ecologist John Woodwell, the "ecological tax reform" proposal calls for a revenue neutral tax shift. In other words, it would not add to the total tax burden, and would even be compatible with tax reduction. But it would radically shift the target of taxation. Some excerpts:

87. Ashcroft Takes A Stab At Tax Reform - 01-12-98 CNN http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/01/12/ashcroft.taxes/index.html

Home News Analysis Community CNN.com Related Sites Sen. John Ashcroft's Web Site Search Help Ashcroft Takes A Stab At Tax Reform By Bob Franken/CNN WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Jan. 12) Sen. John Ashcroft, a possible presidential candidate in 2000, joined the parade of tax reformers today with a major reform plan that includes allowing taxpayers to deduct Social Security payroll taxes from their income taxes. "What I hear about taxes over and over is this: It is time to spell reform: R-E-D-U-C-E, reduce," Ashcroft said today. Among the proposal's ten points are changes that are friendly to families, the middle class and the polls. The Missouri Republican's plan would replace the "marriage penalty" and allow couples to divide their two incomes in half and pay lower rates. It also would allow tax deductions for Social Security payroll taxes. The message was consistent with what Ashcroft has been leaking for several days now. He joins a long line of Republicans on the tax bandwagon. Steve Forbes, a 1996 presidential candidate, and Jack Kemp, the 1996 Republican vice-presidential nominee, both advocate a flat tax. Ashcroft seems to be telling them to get real. "I guess I believe this provides an opportunity for immediate tax relief that isn't accorded in the same measure by the flat tax and the consumption tax," he said.

88. CTRG - Charities' Tax Reform Group The Charities tax reform Group campaigns on behalf of charities to seek changes in tax legislation and administration. http://www.charitytax.info/

Charities' Tax Reform Group Home About us News Campaign priorities ... Contact us Most people believe that charities do not pay tax... if only that were the case. Charities benefit enormously from the range of tax incentives on giving to charities, particularly Gift Aid. What is not often understood is that charities incur substantial amounts of tax when they spend the money that is generously donated to them. This is because the VAT system, which is based on the EU's Sixth VAT Directive, treats charities as the final consumer - even when they are not. The Charities' Tax Reform Group (CTRG) has over 400 members of all sizes representing all types of charitable activity. CTRG was set up in 1982 to make representations to Government on charity taxation and it has since become the leading voice for the sector on this issue. It has persuaded successive Governments to introduce a range of tax reliefs and has also campaigned successfully to protect existing concessions. Through CTRG, you can: be part of the sector's leading authority on tax and charities improve tax concessions on giving identify new ways of helping the sector help to protect existing reliefs, which remain under threat from Europe

Howard's conservative government has a five-month window in which to pass legislation before newly-elected senators take their places in the upper house, leaving it dominated by left-leaning parties that will almost certainly block key elements of his second-term reform agenda. Howard has made it clear he intends to overhaul Australia's tax system. The centerpiece of the prime minister's reform plan is a 10 percent value-added goods and services tax. Howard's argument is that tax reform is critical to Australia's economic well-being particularly at a time when much of Asia is embroiled in financial turmoil.

Treasury Releases First in Series of Tax Simplification Proposals President Unveils Small Business Plan at Women's Entrepreneurship Summit President Emphasizes Job Creation in Economic Recovery President Signs Stimulus Bill During Live Radio Address Today marks the one-year anniversary of the tax relief that President Bush promised the American people and delivered in full the largest tax reduction in a generation. One year after President Bush signed the tax cut into law, the economy is growing, consumer spending is up and America is on the path to economic recovery. The tax cut provided a much needed boost to our economy at just the right time by giving Americans more of their own money to spend, boosting investment and creating jobs. The economy is much stronger one year after the tax cut but there is still more work to be done to ensure long-term growth, a job for every American worker and a return to budget surpluses. And, to keep us on the path to long term recovery, Congress should make the tax cuts permanent; give the President Trade Promotion Authority, a comprehensive energy bill and a terrorism bill; and hold spending down.
