Title: The GOP’s “Tax the Rich” Temptation
Topic: Tax Reform
Discussed by Dr. Vance Ginn
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
The top 10% of earners already pay 71% of federal income taxes, the
highest in the developed world; in France, less than 25%. Since
Sweden and France both have large value-added taxes, a regressive levy, their
top 10% earners bear an even smaller share of the total tax burden. The next
time Bernie Sanders demands that the rich pay their fair share, somebody should
ask him if he would be satisfied if the American rich paid the same as their
counterparts in Sweden and France.
Dr. Vance Ginn is an Economist with the Center for Fiscal Policy at the
Texas Public Policy Foundation. Listen in as he answers some of the tough
questions concerning this issue – questions that might cause you to rethink your
opinion on the matter.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Fact or Fiction: The latest data indicates that the top 10% of earners pay 71%
of the federal income taxes collected.
Will there always be a cry for the wealthy to pay more?
In addition to paying 71% of the federal income taxes collected, the top 10% of
earners do most of the saving, investing and innovating that fuel America’s
economic growth? Does it take capital to create jobs?
Should somebody ask Bernie Sanders if he would be satisfied if the American rich
paid the same share as their counterparts in Sweden and France? (see above
statistics)
The Obama Administration passed huge tax hikes in an effort to bring in over 600
billion more in revenue. What happened?
Presidents Kennedy and Reagan both cut taxes. What happened to the economy and
tax receipts under both?
Is President Trump proposing to emulate Kennedy and Reagan or Obama?
