Conservative Action Project

Washington, DC

Conservatives support the Trump administration’s commitment to ending the taxation of inflation when taxing capital gains—a practice which taxes Americans on “gains” that exist only on paper.

Ending the tax on inflation is a critical step forward in reducing unfairness in the tax code. It provides for “bracket creep,” which drives Americans into higher tax brackets with inflated wages which are not actually increasing real buying power. It is damaging to families, farmers, homeowners, businesses, and Americans who save for their retirement.

The president has clear authority to take this action, and the policy has received bipartisan support over the years from current Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.).

Ending the tax on inflation of homes, lands, stocks and bonds, and even comic book collections will unlock trillions in “sticky capital,” sending trillions into the economy that would otherwise remain on the sidelines. As with every capital gains tax reduction, more tax revenue would end up in the Treasury as a result.

Ending the tax on inflation is a step forward to achieving fairness, justice, and prosperity for families of all ages, and all Americans across the country.
