The Campaign Trail – Michael Bennet - Pat Soldano

Michael Bennet

Bennet has introduced his economic plan which he calls his “Real Deal” as a contrast to what he clearly sees as the pie-in-the-sky type of plans from those candidates to his left, and a way to avoid a quagmire over Medicare for All.

The plan includes a more sweeping Child Tax Credit, and an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit that offers more assistance to workers without children at home. Also in the plan: a higher minimum wage, universal preschool and a paid family leave initiative. And how to pay for those priorities? Bennet gets more than a third of his tax offsets (some $2.2 trillion) from what he terms a “smart wealth tax” — a mark-to-market system that would tax wealthy investors every year on unrealized gains — and ending the “step up in basis” that allows heirs to pay lower taxes on inherited assets. Other ideas: Bringing tax rates to the levels either proposed or enacted under former President Barack Obama — like a 28 percent corporate tax rate (which was lowered to 21 percent under the GOP tax law) and bringing back a 39.6 percent rate for high-earning individuals. Bennet also proposes a new top individual rate of 44 percent, and reinstating the estate tax parameters back to their more stringent parameters from earlier this century.
