However, the plan would end up reducing tax revenues by $9 trillion over the next decade when accounting for economic growth from increases in the supply of labor and capital. * The plan would also result in increased outlays due to higher interest on the debt, creating a ten-year deficit somewhat larger than the estimates above. * According to the Tax Foundation's Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to a 14.4 percent higher GDP over the long term, provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed. * The plan would also lead to a 38.3 percent larger capital stock, 8.7 percent higher wages, and 5.8 million more full-time equivalent jobs. * On a static basis, the plan would cut taxes for both middle- and high- income taxpayers, but would increase taxes on low-income taxpayers. * Accounting for economic growth, all taxpayers would see an increase in after-tax income of at least 6 percent at the end of the decade.
