Vastly Discordant Remunerations (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book discusses the disparity between earnings based on skill and effort and the exceedingly high incomes and wealth accumulated by some individuals, suggesting that while these fortunes may be legal, they often lack justification. It argues that society should not confiscate these funds but should implement a reasonable taxation system. Specifically, it advocates for progressive taxation, labeling very high taxes like the 91% rate during the Eisenhower era as "drastic" and unsustainable due to natural economic forces.From the Reagan presidency onward, tax policies have favored the wealthy with less progressive tax structures, a trend broken intermittently, as during the Clinton administration and reversed significantly by the 2017 tax cuts. The ease of implementing tax cuts for the rich versus raising their taxes is noted, with the observation that the poor, the primary beneficiaries of more equitable tax distribution, often do not perceive the immediate impact of these cuts as acutely as they feel direct costs like rising grocery prices.The book criticizes the prevalent but inaccurate belief that the wealthy bear all tax burdens while the poor receive undue benefits. It suggests a modest wealth tax, as proposed by Senator Elizabeth Warren, could replace inheritance taxes if well designed. Additionally, moderate tax increases on the top 0.1% of earners could fund essential public services and social safety nets, significantly benefiting society. The proposal includes new tax brackets of 40% and 45% between the existing 37% and a proposed 50% rate, and even higher rates of 60% and 70% for incomes over $50 million and $100 million respectively, to address financial inequality and potentially reduce the national deficit.Historical context is provided with reference to tax rates from 1965 to 1981, where a 70% top rate applied to incomes equivalent to about $1 million in 2020 dollars. Economists like Robert Reich and Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman support high top tax rates, with Krugman suggesting that the optimal rate for maximizing tax revenue without detrimental effects on the economy might be around 73%.
