My latest update from the campaign trail.
DEBUNKING DEMOCRAT TALKING POINTS: Income inequality and the myth that the rich pay lower taxes than the rest of us are often cited by Democrats as justification for their schemes to increase federal taxes. They’re both bunkum.
- Income inequality – A new report by the National Bureau of Economic Research explains that “Worker effort has played an important role in the increase in income inequality in the United States between 1980 and 2016.” In short, people who can work at home on their computers have been working more than 40 hours/week and, big shock, making more money.
- The rich allegedly pay lower taxes – A paper by David Splinter of Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation states that U.S. federal taxes are progressive – i.e., average tax rates increase with income. In fact, the OECD estimated that the U.S. has the most progressive household taxes among developed countries. Statements to the contrary are based on a flawed study that Splinter debunks in his report, which is linked below.
