do is to create ate one time fund called cultural fund and that is in alignment with what director shulman and city administrators have wanted to do in terms of finding the ways that we can support the smaller organizations in terms of their basic, basic needs. and that is one of the great things that grants for the arts can do. and so, we would look if you prefer, we could either allocate that, in house, within the arts, or we can also set it up as a work order to the arts commission and it is a program that we will be doing jointly with them and manage with them jointly, and so, either way, that we want to establish in the budget, will be fine. >> and i would like to get the comments from my colleagues, and i, would say thank you for working this allocation out, specifically for cultural equity as a first step towards pulling up the smaller fra gig arts group as we work together to expand the pie and i want to say that in the 2006 arts task force recommendations and i know that many arts organizations are not in total agreement, of the recommendations but on july 16th, we will have a con

former irs commissioner doug shulman, jared, doug, thank you for being here. doug, what do you think? ask jack lou right? >> i think everybody is unhappy when they see an american company leave the u.s. and go domicile somebody else. nobody likes that. i think the issue is, i think perceived to real, people don't think the u.s. has a competitive corporate tax structure now. so corporations are looking out for their bottom line. if they can find a merger that makes sense, they're willing to move and taxes are one consideration. >> right. you know, jared, it's a little tough calling them unpatriotic, they are following the law. >> that's right. it's tax avoidance, not tax evasion. it's legal. i agree with much of what doug just said but i also think that jack has a point. i mean, it does strike one as economically unpatriotic to invert in order to lower your tax bill. >> let's talk about what this actually means, doug, just in dollar terms. an irs study found $20 billion of corporate taxes would be lost over the next decade because of inversions. what does that

most important point that i want to make to you was actually made by governor haslam and governor shulman when they spoke because you have governors from different that are geographically, ideologically, and in terms of their health care markets. they both focus on the same solution, to change the fee for service system to an outcome-based, value-based system as central to the solution for both improving care and promoting affordability, and i will tell you a very short story about how massachusetts over the past five years has done just that, and what some of the results have been. before i do so, you might step back and say is the experience in massachusetts really relevant to our state? after all, are you a deep blue rule, one-party progressive use of social and other issues, and the health care market centered on large, academic medical centers? what i will tell you is we are much more diverse ideologically, politically, and in terms of markets than you might think, so there are some surprises in our story. from the diverse views within our state, we actually have forged the kind of c

>> as a general matter shulman moving from our current tax code to a tax code that has a broader base and lower rates would probably strengthen the economy. how much it would strengthen the economy would depend on the details of the reform. as you know the devil is in the details on tax reform but as a general matter guess we share the widely held opinion among analysts that a lower rate on a broader base would encourage more savings would expand the economy and the long-term relative to the current tax code. >> just to follow through on that if an economy is expanded and a economy begins to grow what would be the effect of the revenue on that? >> so that would increase revenues relative to what would happen to the current gdp and we offered when the joint select committee reduction was considering production plans we offer to do an analysis of the macroeconomic effects of tax reform that they were considering doing as part of their package. there was no analysis to be done but we do analysis every year essentially every year of the presidents budget proposal only do that macroeconomi

former irs commissioner doug shulman, any 2008 president bush appointee, was asked, did the citizens in a case in any way affect the hour as process for handling tax except applications? and his answer, no. you know, the best of my knowledge it did not. likewise, event of the elections crime branch said citizens united is not a problem. it is the law and so no, i am not aware of any effort or part of an effort to fix the problem from citizens united. while republicans continue to promote their unfounded allegations they conveniently overlook the funneling of dark money into elections. 501(c) organizations are not barred from participating in political campaigns. the regulations are clear, tasty political activity must be an and substantial amount of the groups activity less than 50%. these groups can already gain tax exception as a section organization but that would require them to disclose their donors rather than keeping the american people in the dark about where they're getting their money. as i've repeatedly stated, anonymous money in politics disrupt the democratic process. th
