Analysis: Did Mike Pence just doom his 2024 chances?
Analysis by Chris Cillizza
Bing Jou 營所稅與所得再分配的關係相當弱，除非這些新增稅收用之於社會福利支出。我沒有看過邱復生的發言，不知道是否有下文。所得重新分配祗有兩個有效的辦法，增加社會福利支出和提高最低工資。
營利所得賦稅和個人所得税的性質相同，不是可以轉嫁項目。我在這裏假設營收稅是corporate income taxes, 不是營業税。營業稅徵收點是revenue.
The official poverty rate rose slightly, from 12.5% to 13.2%, bringing the total to 39.8m people. This was the first statistically significant annual increase since 2004. But the official poverty measure ignores many government benefits. For example, if the cash value of food stamps were accounted for, there would have been 1.7m fewer poor people in 2007. If the earned-income tax credit (a cash transfer to the working poor) were included, 2.4m children would have been lifted out of poverty. The official poverty measure is politically untouchable because it is used to allocate heaps of public money. However, the Census Bureau, aware of its shortcomings, has added a calculator to its website to let people work out their own measures.
y as high as 13% for a decade or so. Joblessness can scar those who experience it, she worries. People’s skills deteriorate and they may eventually become discouraged from seeking work.
Doug Besharov of the University of Maryland thinks the big (and politically important) problem is not so much the addition of a couple of million people to the poverty rolls but the “giant hit” the recession has inflicted on the middle class. They have lost a fortune, as the value of their homes and retirement portfolios has tumbled. And some 8m Americans have lost their jobs since late 2007. Assuming that most have families, perhaps 30m people have been intimately affected by the great downsizing. A big surge in joblessness does not necessarily show up in the poverty statistics, because many of those downsized are men with working wives. But 30m people is a lot of voters, says Mr Besharov. “These people don’t think of themselves as poor, but they are hurting, they feel wronged and they want government help,” he says.
