John Stossel notes that two things are causing a booming economy in Estonia (HT Cato at Liberty via Chaos from Order). The first is that the country has a flat income tax. The second, which he notes but doesn’t dwell on, it that the flat tax’s rate has been lowered once already, and will be lowered again in two years. It must be heresy to say it given the political climate in Washington, but the US needs another tax cut to keep the current boom going and government revenues from stagnating. One of the reasons that the 1980s cuts has such a long-lasting positive effect was that there were actually four of them (5% in 1982, 10% in 1983, 10% in 1984, and the collection of what were mostly cuts in 1986).
