Question for the economic aces

Am I wrong or is this just a bunch of economic doubletalk that sounds good but has virtually no meat to it? I know - I saw that too. It's a little bit confusing how he phrased it. His idea is to remove capital gains liabilities for small business. That's what he's proposed anyway. The problem is in how "small business" is being defined. He and/or his advisors have not defined exactly what he means by "small business". As far as I know, the only definition is if the small business owner makes over $250K/yr in which case his "wealth" will be redistributed. Which is an economic disincentive when you think about it. The person who makes $249K per year isn't peanized for success, the person making $250,000.01 is. What I don't understand is that his main economic guy, Austan Goolsbee, is a fairly rightish free market guy and he's the one proposing all this stuff. He's a brainy guy - but I honestly don't think he's thought this stuff through. |
