Taxing the rich
SIR – I believe I am classed as one of the wealthy in America, so I took a
great interest in your leader on how to get the well-heeled to pay more tax
(“Hunting the rich”, September 24th). You advocated a tax system that
would make the top rates more equal on wages and capital, eliminate
virtually all deductions and get rid of corporate taxes. This, you said,
would allow for a much lower top rate of income tax and would actually reap
more tax revenues from the rich. You appear to be arguing that I, as one of
the rich, would prefer to see lower income-tax rates, and for this “benefit
” would be willing to pay more money. What are you smoking?
I do not give a damn about tax rates. My entrepreneurial instincts are in no
way discouraged by high marginal rates. But I do care about how much money
I have to pay. I like my deductions, all perfectly legal, around which I
have structured my life.
Yes, the tax system is unfair. The array of consumption and payroll taxes
are regressive and result in the less well-off paying a higher proportion of
their total income in taxes. And this will continue as long as we, the rich
, can persuade the politicians who write tax laws, and who are also part of
the monied class, to structure the tax system to indulge us.
What is there not to like?
