Make the poor become rich.
Washington round water trickled through whether to need to improve their tax, in fact, wealthy family has been in decades, or even some of their biggest federal taxes, the rest of the population is still in a historical low interest rates to pay.
President barack Obama and congressional Democrats leaders say, the rich have to pay a fair share, if the federal government to solve their financial and reduce the budget deficit to a manageable level.
However, a new analysis shows that high income family average taxes, there is little high, because the U.S. congressional budget office in 1979 began to track the data. Low-income family in the use of no pay as much as possible.
In 2013, the family income in the top 20% of countries will pay their income federal tax average is 27.2%, according to the prediction of the tax policy center research institutions, headquartered in Washington. The top 1% of families, the average income of $1400000, will pay 35.5% of the average level.
These, including income, wages, corporate and real estate tax rate, is the highest since 1979.
The average family bottom 20% of families will not pay any federal tax. On the contrary, this group of many families, take the credit than they owe tax, including payroll tax paid by the federal government. This will give them a negative rate.
Roberton Williams, tax policy center researcher, said: "my feeling is that, the high income people feel great goal is always more tax,". "You can understand why they have such feeling."
Last week, the senate Democrats can't promote their advice, in some wealthy family package, in order to avoid to be automatic spending cuts this year, part of the second raising taxes. The bill failed to prevent it from the republican party. A competitive republican bill, including no tax did not grow, and automatically start to take the effect of spending cuts on Friday.
Problems, however, did not go.
Barack Obama and congressional Democrats leaders insist that any future transactions, in order to reduce government borrowing must include cutting spending and more tax combination.
"I tried to do, take my democratic friends, strive to do things," Obama said Friday. "But, I can't do anything about it, is to ask the middle class family, and asked the old man, students are required to bear all the burden deficit reduction, we know we have a lot of tax loophole, be helpful for a good connection, make a contribution to economic growth, isn't it to our economic contribution, this is not fair. It's wrong."
Last Sunday, Kentucky senate republican leader mitch MaiKangNaiEr said, republican not again, tax, cut its budget deficit. In a separate radio interviews, White House economic adviser, gene sperling position is not reasonable.
The democratic bill seal including "buffett rule", the billionaire investor warren buffett's name. Will be phased out to ask the, each year more than 1 million dollars to pay at least 30% of the income federal tax.
The rules of the target millionaire who make their money from investment - capital gains and qualified dividend, one of the highest rates of 20%.
"This is fair," said senator Michael kass Kiel, D - molybdenum. "We don't add tax buffett rules as much as possible, because we correct unfair terms, a person can be in at the end of the hall and hedge funds, because of his work, he will be in the 20% tax. Another wage guy at the other end of the hall is a in an insurance company, and he pay (39.6%). This is not fair."
On average, the family is more than $1 million, this year will pay federal tax 37.2% of income tax policy, according to the center. But there are exceptions.
For example, the irs tracking 400 highest-paid file manager, the annual tax return. In 2009 the average $202 million tax payers, the most recent year. Their average federal income tax rate: 19.9%.
This is still higher than most middle-income families pay rate, but not many.
In the middle of the 20% of American families - an average of 46 $600 - will pay federal taxes, an average of 13.8% this year, according to the income tax policy center. In the past thirty years, this group of average federal rate is 16%.
Ap analysis two sets of data comparison of the tax burden, with the passage of time.
CBO produce from 1979 to 2009, the center has overlapping data, from 2004 to 2013 years of data. Two from the irs tax data, but they use a slightly different way to calculate the federal tax burden.
However, the number of their secret cut tracking enough to make some general opinions. For example, obviously, in 2013, the average rate is rich bill will become the highest since 1979. It is also very clear, medium and low income families federal tax will remain far below the average for the same period.
The liberal party and the democratic said, rich family have the ability to pay higher taxes, because their income growth than middle and low income family income.
The top 1% of the average family income after more than doubled, from 1979 to 2009, an increase of 155%, according to the congressional budget office. At the same time, those in the middle of the average income increased by only 32%, and those who live in the ground floor, their income year-on-year growth of 45%.
"You need to think of the background, said:" to find the marr, budget and policy priority center federal tax policy, loose think-tank. "We just have thirty years in the United States, where we have a huge widening inequality.
Income gap in one of the important reasons for the tax rich close to 30 years of high, Williams said. Due to the rich get richer, more share, the highest income tax, he said.
High income family has also added tax goal, this year, including the new tax law passed by the U.S. congress on January 1, in the President's medical hygiene and increase revenue.
