Tax Burden of Top 1% Now Exceeds That of Bottom 95% - COMBINED!
E.J. Dionne argues that rich Americans are “undertaxed”
(“In American politics, stupidity is the name of the game,” July 29). http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...072804529.html He quotes the Congressional Budget Office to explain why: “the gaps in after-tax income between the richest 1 percent of Americans and the middle and poorest fifths of the country more than tripled between 1979 and 2007.” Mr. Dionne’s view of “undertaxed” is odd. The IRS reports that in 2007 (the latest year for which data are available) the top 1 percent of taxpayers in the U.S. paid 40.4 percent of the total income taxes collected by Uncle Sam. This percentage is well above the 24.8 percent of the income-tax burden borne by this group in 1987, the year after the 1986 tax reform. Moreover, the top 1 percent of taxpayers now pay more federal income taxes than do the bottom 95 percent combined!* If taxes are the price we pay for government services – rather than booty to be extracted simply because someone is unusually wealthy – then Mr. Dionne’s conclusion that rich Americans are undertaxed overtaxes credulity.

On the contrary! It is the result of ever increasing government interference in free market capitalism. If this interference is allowed to continue, and God forbid increase, it will result in far more disastrous consequences which are not so far off on the economic horizon. Detroit and Chicago are well on this path. Here is what is happening thanks to an ever increasing Socialist Creep of government influence and regulations of the U.S. economy. I post the following for study as an example of the increasing rate of Socialism's detrimental creep into our economy. As one had recently posted elsewhere with all emphasis mine: "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90...1/6275043.html The Chinese planning system has encountered the same problems of inflexibility and inadequate responsiveness that have emerged in other centrally planned economies [which all have failed]. The basic difficulty has been that it is impossible for planners to foresee all the needs of the economy and to specify adequately the characteristics of planned inputs and products [Mises, Hayek, Friedman- http://mises.org ]. Beginning in 1979 and 1980, the first reforms were introduced on an experimental basis. Nearly all of these policies increased the autonomy and decision-making power of the various economic units and reduced the direct role of central planning. [Uh oh!] In the 1980s, rural China gained the upper hand, and the result was rapid as well as broad-based growth. China’s rural economy took off in the 1980s, led by ‘township and village enterprises’ that were essentially private, only to be ignored in the 1990s by state-led development that focused on urban regions such as Shanghai. The ‘Shanghai miracle’ – as any businessman who has worked there knows – was not the simple triumph of capitalism, but of a stronger and more intrusive (and effective) state. IF ONE WANTS TO UNDERSTAND THE POLICY ORIGINS OF China's [and similiarly the U.S.] GROWING DIVIDE BETWEEN RICH AND POOR, urban and rural, one need look no further. In the 1990s, urban China triumphed. In the 1990s, the Chinese state reversed many of its productive [private capitalist] rural experiments, with long-lasting damage to the economy and society. [China's post-Mao Tse Dung leaders were well aware of the dangers of rural power. That is how, afterall, Mao Tse Dung and Communism came to power]. A WEAK FINANCIAL SECTOR, INCOME DISPARITY, rising illiteracy, productivity slowdowns, and REDUCED PERSONAL INCOME GROWTH are the product of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics [state interference] of the 1990s and beyond. While GDP grew quickly in both decades, THE WELFARE IMPLICATIONS OF GROWTH DIFFERED SUBSTANTIALLY. The single biggest obstacle to sustainable growth and financial stability in China today is its poor political governance [Hello!]. China faces some of its toughest economic challenges and substantial vulnerabilities that require fundamental institutional reforms.[Goodbye 0baMao Tse Dung] When I say “capitalism,” I mean a full, pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism—with a separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of state and church. The best example of Freedom is the full, pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism that was pre-1989 Hong Kong: View "Free To Choose - ORIGINAL 1980 SERIES: Volume 1 - The Power of the Market" http://www.ideachannel.tv/ http://www.freetochoose.net/store/pr...products_id=36 It is no wonder that Communist China was intent on snuffing out Hong Kong laissez-faire capitalism. Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned. The recognition of individual rights entails the banishment of physical force from human relationships: basically, rights can be violated only by means of force. In a capitalist society, no man or group may initiate the use of physical force against others. The only function of the government, in such a society, is the task of protecting man’s rights, i.e., the task of protecting him from physical force; the government acts as the agent of man’s right of self-defense, and may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use; thus the government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of force under objective control. A capitalist marketplace is a sort of Darwinian organism, evolved through natural selection as the fittest way to satisfy our needs. It is Human Nature. Itis natural. It is natural to be free - Born Free! And nothing you think or say will ever change that fact. It is normal. Liberal Fascism, Progessivism, Socialism, Communism are abnormal. They are a mental disease. History reeks of the rotting stench from this diseased corpse you love so much: http://www.globalmuseumoncommunism.org http://www.forfreedomssake.com/blog/...-of-communism/ The disease is necrophilia. If you don't suckle on mother nature's Capitalist milk you're Dead in Pyongyang. |

Unfortunately for you it all ends in tragedy. Or did you think those thousands who marched against our government, the marches in support of Communism happened because thousands didn't have anything to do those years? Here we go. Now the true mind of Red Liberal Fascist is revealed. Or--how about the tens of thousands marching in the South in the 60's, or the millions that camped out on the Capital Mall calling attention to massive hunger and homelessness in the early 60's Uh huh. Who were the organisers of your ignorant student body of young soft pliable minds? WHO WERE THESE COMMUNIST PARTY MEMBERS THAT DESTROYED THE YOUTH? If you know anything about history YOU KNOW MAO TSE DUNG! His CULTural Revolution!! I KNOW YOU DO!!! Yep, you uneducated idiots are why someone like us NEEDS to be around to stop your greed, racism, and self-entitlement. Many of the wonderful-sounding ideas that have been tried as government policies have failed disastrously. Because so few people bother to study history, often the same ideas and policies have been tried again, either in another country or in the same country at a later time-- and with the same disastrous results. One of the ideas that has proved to be almost impervious to evidence is the idea that wise and far-sighted people need to take control and plan economic and social policies so that there will be a rational and just order, rather than chaos resulting from things being allowed to take their own course. It sounds so logical and plausible that demanding hard evidence would seem almost like nit-picking. In one form or another, this idea goes back at least as far as the French Revolution in the 18th century. As J.A. Schumpeter later wrote of that era, "general well-being ought to have been the consequence," but "instead we find misery, shame and, at the end of it all, a stream of blood." The same could be said of the Bolshevik Revolution and other revolutions of the 20th century. The idea that the wise and knowledgeable few need to take control of the less wise and less knowledgeable many has taken milder forms-- and repeatedly with bad results as well. One of the most easily documented examples has been economic central planning, which was tried in countries around the world at various times during the 20th century, among people of differing races and cultures, and under government ranging from democracies to dictatorships. The people who ran central planning agencies usually had more advanced education than the population at large, and probably higher IQs as well. The central planners also had far more statistics and other facts at their disposal than the average person had. Moreover, there were usually specialized experts such as economists and statisticians on the staffs of the central planners, and outside consultants were available when needed. Finally, the central planners had the power of government behind them, to enforce the plans they created. It is hardly surprising that conservatives, such as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Britain and President Ronald Reagan in the United States, opposed this approach. What is remarkable is that, after a few decades of experience with central planning in some countries, or a few generations in others, even communists and socialists began to repudiate this approach. As they replaced central planning with more reliance on markets, their countries' economic growth rate almost invariably increased, often dramatically. In the largest and most recent examples-- China and India-- people by the millions have risen above these countries' official poverty rates, after they freed their economies from many of their suffocating government controls. China, where famines have repeatedly ravaged the country, now has a problem of obesity-- not a good thing in itself, but a big improvement over famines. This has implications far beyond economics. Think about it: How was it even possible that transferring decisions from elites with more education, intellect, data and power to ordinary people could lead consistently to demonstrably better results? One implication is that no one is smart enough to carry out social engineering, whether in the economy or in other areas where the results may not always be so easily quantifiable. We learn, not from our initial brilliance, but from trial and error adjustments to events as they unfold. Science tells us that the human brain reaches its maximum potential in early adulthood. Why then are young adults so seldom capable of doing what people with more years of experience can do? Because experience trumps brilliance. Elites may have more brilliance, but those who make decisions for society as a whole cannot possibly have as much experience as the millions of people whose decisions they preempt. The education and intellects of the elites may lead them to have more sweeping presumptions, but that just makes them more dangerous to the freedom, as well as the well-being, of the people as a whole. http://townhall.com/columnists/Thoma...w_smart_are_we http://www.tsowell.com |

The Indians were here first. Maybe we should ask them if the Mexicans are "illegal" and whether the spawn of Europeans have any right to decide who gets to stay. I was born here by what you call an illegal, so I'm a citizen anchor baby, and have the same rights as any Indians. I also have as much "say" as any Indian. |

My people came ashore in Jamestown. We "displaced" your ancestors' cousins. But not before they stuffed their guts with free turkey 'n trimmings. Did that really happen? We arrived in 1609. And then more in 1657 in Stafford. |
