Redstate - Capitalist Pig By: Pejman Yousefzadeh · Section: Economy Quite obviously, this is an uninformed opinion: Edward Prescott, who picked up the Nobel Prize for Economics on Monday, said President George Bush's tax rate cuts were "pretty small" and should have been bigger. "What Bush has done has been not very big, it's pretty small," Prescott said. "Tax rates were not cut enough," said Prescott. Lower tax rates provided an incentive to work, Prescott said. Prescott and Norwegian Finn Kydland won the 2004 Nobel Economics Prize for research into the forces behind business cycles. The American analyst, who is a professor at Arizona State University and a researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, said a large tax cut in 1986 had lowered rates while collecting the same revenue. But "in the early nineties the economy was depressed by the tax increase in 1993 by about four percent, and it's right at that level now," Prescott said. Look for Prescott to be attacked for wanting to give "tax cut giveaways to the rich." I can recite the condemnation that is coming in my sleep.
