哎呀呀，英文都棒极了，有点看不明白。<br> 说到交税，人人皆涨，不信等着瞧。尤其是工薪阶层，每个铜板都在光天化日之下。<br> 收入近半个百万的毕竟少之又少。家庭收入45万？1%不到。<br>  <br>

in my opinion, richers hired "great" accounting experts & always deduct over half of their income. so, their taxable income is much less than total received $$$$$$$ [income]. this is why you feel they paid very low %.

to 第 <font size="3">6</font> 楼<br> <br>Btw, they may not be rich people, just hard working high income families.  Our tax policy never tax wealth as long as there is no transaction. You could be rich and pay no taxes (no NEW money flow in) or poor (no assets and spend all) to pay high taxes.<br> <br>So it is not about taxing rich, but taxing productive, hard working people.<br>

to 第 <font size="3">6</font> 楼<br> <br>Be precise, this is the marginal tax rate, not the total rate.  However, there is less and less incentive to work once you reach that point.  This is not pro growth tax policy.  In California, the marginal state tax rate has just been raised to 13.3%.  So let's see how many high income professionals will move out of California to states like Texas which has no income taxes.  That may be why Apple and the other silicon valley tech companies are building new R&D centers in Texas.<br> <br> <br>

to 第 <font size="+0">4</font> 楼:<br> <br>Correct.  However, what's the incentive for people at that levle to work for more?  Usually, these are the most productive people in our society.  Now we are making them to work for someone else, not themselves.  <br> <br>When UK started to tax their millionairs at 50% tax rate, the millionairs just disappeared. They have to lower it to get them back.<br>

With this new tax rate: 39.5% + 6% GA state tax + 3.8% Obamacare tax + 0.9 Medicare surtax + 2.9 old medicare tax = 53.1%, the most productive members of our society becomes the servents of poor/non working people.  What would be the incentive to work hard anymore?<br>
