History

Tema [17]3 years ago
6 0

Bold prediction: Rising inequality of income and wealth will be the most important political battleground over the next few decades.

Just take a look at the figures. The share of income accruing to the top 1 percent increased from 9 percent in 1976 to 20 percent in 2011. The richest 0.1 percent controlled 7 percent of the wealth in 1979 and 22 percent of the wealth in 2012. Meanwhile, there are a number of studies out there showing that the most effective way to reduce this inequality would be higher taxes on income and wealth, but the rich won’t let it happen.

Consider also this: The rise of income inequality and wealth inequality are intimately connected, and causes all sorts of problem over the long term. As Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman write,

Income inequality has a snowballing effect on the wealth distribution: top incomes are being saved at high rates, pushing wealth concentration up; in turn, rising wealth inequality leads to rising capital income concentration,which contributes to further increasing top income and wealth shares.

Taxes are incorporated into the State related to the values and objectives advocated by the Constitution. The US tax structure is decentralized more heavily on the expenditure side than on the revenue side, which highlights the importance of intergovernmental transfers and issues regarding US federalism.

The US tax system and its structure reflect the federal nature of the country, presenting a tax specialization by the level of government, being: the income the federal tax base; the consumption, the state, and the property the basis of the local taxation. In the consolidated context, the predominant taxes are Income Tax, payroll tax (social security contribution) and taxes on sales (consumption).
