Details and Analysis of


Governor Jeb Bush's Tax Plan

By Kyle Pomerleau
    Economist


Key Findings

    Governor Jeb Bush's tax plan would reform both the individual income tax
    and the corporate income tax and eliminate a number of complex features
    in the current tax code.

    According to the Tax Foundation's Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would
    significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would
    lead to a 10 percent higher GDP over the long-term.

 * The plan would also lead to a 28.8 percent larger capital stock, 7.4 percent
    higher wages, and 2.7 million more full-time equivalent jobs.

    The Governor's plan would cut taxes by $3.6 trillion over the next decade
    on a static basis. However, the plan would end up reducing revenue by $1.6
    trillion over the next decade when accounting for the additional economic
    growth created by the plan.

 * The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers
    at all levels of income.
