你的算法我很不認同。十年前,我一個研究所同學,他年收入才五萬元,所得稅一年就交到百分之三十六了。
購物稅現在差不多是百分之八到百分之十一。汽油,電話的購物稅更可怕,超過百分之三十。
還有社會安全稅,也是驚死人。再加上房屋稅,等等等等,加一加,一個中產階級,每年交的稅,隨便算算就超過百分之五十了。我家超過百分之六十。換句話說,賺十元,六元以上交給美國各級政府。我們沒有任何福利。
有人算美國人的稅務負擔平均是百分之三十六,那是把那些小孩和其它根本不交稅的人都算進去。

版主有興趣和我討論嗎? 一般說來我敢聲稱的事我都有資料支持我的說法。

For example, if Jeremy and Diane filing a joint return and their combined income is $145,000, their marginal (top) tax bracket rate is 28%. Before deductions and credits, they can expect to face a federal tax liability of $27,735 plus 28% of the excess over $142,700. This is equal to $27,375 + ($145,000 – $142,700) or $30,035. Their effective federal tax rate is $30,035/$145,000 = 20.7%.
