摘要

"ZERO-zero-zero is better than ninenine-nine," claims Rick Santorum, a Republican presidential candidate, trying to outbid the tax plan of his rival Herman Cain. Mr Santorum's is not the only effort at one-upmanship: "I'll bump plans with you, brother," Rick Perry, another contender, told Mr Cain before unveiling a proposal for a flat tax this week (see above). Yet another of the candidates, Newt Gingrich, does not want to be left out. "Bump plans w/ me," he implored Mr Perry by tweet. It has been more or less compulsory for Republican presidential candidates to promise a tax cut of some sort—or at least indefatigable opposition to tax increases-ever since Ronald Reagan pledged a 10% reduction in marginal rates every year for three years during the campaign of 1980. Over time, the proposals have been getting bolder. Mike Huckabee, the runner-up for the nomination last time around, suggested replacing the entire federal tax code with a 30% federal sales tax, deftly if misleadingly branded as the "fair tax". John McCain, the nominee, advocated a two-tier system. Taxpayers could either stick with the present code or switch to a massively simplified alternative, with much lower rates but few exemptions or deductions.
