In The WSJ, Larry Lindsey rebuts Tim Geithner’s claim that the wealthy should pay more taxes for the privilege of living in America:
If you go further back to the pre-Reagan days, when the top tax rate was 70%, the story becomes even more dramatic. Under the four presidents of that era, the income share of the top 5% was 16.8% and their share of the income tax was 36%. In other words, the share of income received by the top 5% has risen 28% and their share of income taxes has risen 64%.
Stated differently, based on the data provided by the Census Bureau and the Internal Revenue Service, the relative tax burden of the top 5% of American earners compared with the remaining 95% has grown from roughly three-to-one prior to 1980 to almost six-to-one today.At Forbes, Brian Domitrovic notes the half-heartedness of Tim Geithner’s corporate tax reform plan.

BWR: Why Rick Santorum?
Courtesy of our friends at Bretton Woods Research.
--------------------------
Rick Santorum swept Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota yesterday because the Republican electorate is continuing to send Mitt Romney the message that he must improve his growth platform. With Newt Gingrich periodically stumbling against Romney, Santorum's tax plan is the next best thing. As we explained in early January, Santorum wants two personal income tax rates, 10% and 28%, a 17.5% corporate tax rate, a 12% capital gains tax rate and a complete elimination of the corporate tax for manufacturing companies.
According to Intrade, Mitt Romney's chances today of winning the GOP nomination are nearly 82%, almost double what they were in mid-December. But, importantly, as his chances of capturing the nomination have improved, President Obama's chances of being re-elected have improved during the same period from roughly 50% to 60%.
There is a glaring weakness in the Romney candidacy. He doesn't have the right model to create growth.
