This book explores the tax cut stimulus options available in today’s economic climate. Several tax cuts were discussed during considerations of fiscal stimulus in recent years, and the current proposal of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This stimulus proposal includes individual tax cuts directed at lower and middle income individuals and also includes business tax cuts. Effectiveness of a tax cut for short run stimulus purposes is judged by the extent to which the tax cut increases private demand. A tax cut that is saved will have no short term stimulative economic effect. Thus, in general, tax cuts received by individuals will not be successful as short run stimulus if they lead to additional saving, and tax cuts received by firms will not be successful unless they lead to spending on investment.
