COMMON SENSE; Working All Day For the I.R.S.

Mitt Romney is not alone. I thought Mr. Romneys 13.9 percent federal tax rate would be hard to beat. But among the 400 Americans with the highest adjusted gross incomes in 2008, 30 of them paid less than 10 percent and another 101 paid less than 15 percent. And these people earned, on average, more than 10 times Mr. Romneys $21.7 million -- an - By JAMES B. STEWART

The Buffett Tax Rule Is Really More a Guideline

WASHINGTON -- President Obama has made the Buffett rule, mandating that millionaires pay at least 30 percent of their incomes in taxes, the centerpiece of his campaign for fairness. But look for it among the myriad tax changes the White House detailed in the 2013 budget proposal it released this week, and you will not find it. The Buffett rule - President Obama has made the Buffett rule, mandating that millionaires pay at least 30 percent of their incomes in taxes, the centerpiece of his campaign for fairness, but it is not among the myriad tax changes detailed in his 2013 budget proposal; administration officials say that the rule is only a guideline that should not be established without a broader overhaul of the tax code, but that the administration would support a Congressional effort to carry it out alone.

What do you think of Obamas State of the Union speech calling for the BUFFETT RULE to be enacted?

The Buffett rule is the principle that millionaires should not pay a lower tax rate than typical workers, do Republicans have an argument against it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16709072 Your thoughts? Good points on direct and indirect taxes Michael B - thanks.
Answer: The rich have more options in life than the rest of us. That is what makes them the rich. Like the rest of us, they want to hang on to what they have - and they have the money and the opportunity to do it effectively. They learned long ago that it is a mistake to have too much invested in real estate: too easily pinned down, taxed, or even confiscated. They have learned to adjust their affairs (usually in accordance with the law - evasion is too risky) so that they have to pay less tax. All this is perhaps deplorable, but is no more than most people would be doing if they were in that position. To impose higher tax rates is mere rhetoric, since they will, in practice, never be paid. To compel the super-rich to pay more, we should think laterally. Direct taxes (income, capital and corporation tax) are too easily dodged: assets can be moved around the world in multinational companies, profits taken in low-tax jurisdictions while expenses are incurred where they are most tax-efficient, and so on. It would cost too much, and anyway be ineffective, to go chasing the money at source. We can, however, fairly easily catch it where it is spent. A sales tax, a tax on housing (rented or owned), a tax on services are all cheap to administer and (since there are many relatively small, not a few huge transactions) hard to dodge. It is easy to graduate the tax, too: a low percentage on cheap cars, for instance, and higher tax on a sliding scale all the way up to a penal rate on a Lamborghini would largely spare the ordinary tax-paying citizen while collecting millions from football players, Hollywood celebrities and tycoons. If they want to live where they can enjoy a secure, civilised Western lifestyle (and most of them do) they must learn that they will have to pay for it at Western prices. I suggest a shift in government thinking from direct to indirect taxation as the only practicable way out of this difficulty.

What do you think of President Obama asking Congress to pass the tax BUFFETT RULE?


Answer: The trouble with this Obama–Buffett tax hike collusion, though, is all the pieces that are left out of the puzzle. First of all, the billionaire is paying more in taxes than he would lead you to believe. Dan Mitchell explains: When Buffett receives dividends and capital gains, it is true that he pays “only” 15 percent of that money on his tax return. But dividends and capital gains are both forms of double taxation. So if he wants honest effective tax rate numbers, he needs to show the 35 percent corporate tax rate. Moreover, as I noted in a previous post, Buffett completely ignores the impact of the death tax, which will result in the federal government seizing 45 percent of his assets. To be sure, Buffett may be engaging in clever tax planning, so it is hard to know the impact on his effective tax rate, but it will be significant. Mitchell also points out that Buffett “completely ignores the impact of the death tax, which results in the federal government seizing 45 percent of his assets,” and “mischaracterizes the impact of the Social Security payroll tax, which is dedicated for a specific purpose.” But apart from misstating his tax burden, Buffett fails to call for significant reforms in Social Security and Medicare that could reduce federal spending, and he downplays the role that taxation plays in investment decisions. Buffett bizarrely downplays the role of taxation plays in investment decisions, arguing taxes have no impact on investing. We’ll take Buffett at his word that he doesn’t consider the tax implications for his investments (even though it is well documented in several books that he does consider them – one of the major tenets of the value investing practice Buffett follows is to hold equities as long as possible to minimize the impact of taxes and therefore maximize internal returns), but the rest of the investing world is solely concerned with after-tax returns to their investments. Tax rates including the capital gains rate, dividends rate, corporate income tax rate, and individual tax rate are major determinants of after-tax returns. Then there’s the fact that a shortage of tax revenue isn’t even the root of Washington’s problem–too much spending is. While revenue will surpass its historical average of 18.0 percent of GDP once economic growth returns, spending is already 25 percent above its historical average and will remain there permanently if President Obama and his big government allies have their way. A billionaire calling for more taxes might make great political theater, but there’s more to the story than Buffett—and Obama—would have you believe.

Ryan says Buffett rule class warfare but yet his wanting to faze out Medicare isnt class warfare against the middle class and poor?
Answer: Not only are Paul Ryan's economic policies bankrupt, but his thinking indicates the man is totally confused. The wealthy have been waging (and winning) class warfare for thirty years; it is about time the American people fought back. However, making the wealthy pay the same tax rates as the rest of the people is anything but a blow in the war between the classes that they started.
