Taxes+-+Giuliani

=//“The way to do it sometimes is to reduce taxes and raise more money.”//=

For most of his life, Giuliani was a Democrat. The tax issue is what pulled him to the Republican side. If elected, Giuliani would make the Bush tax cuts permanent. He would also do away with the estate tax. He says that his tax platform is made up of proof, not theory. He had a lot of success when he cut taxes in New York as Mayor of New York City. The unemployment rate dropped 50% and collected 40% more with the lower taxes. Along with lowering taxes, he plans to attach the AMT (alternative minimum tax) and lower the corporate tax rates.
