Amy Chozick in “Hillary Clinton Twists the Knife in Donald Trump’s Tax Proposal” presented the plan of Mrs. Clinton on tax proposals to tax on income of wealthy people beginning from the last 15 years to invest in education to make college more affordable, in skills training, in infrastructure, and in domestic agenda (2016). After reading this article I find myself supporting to Mrs. Clinton not because of Mr. Trump’s tax proposals that only supports to business owners and billionaires like him but because of Mrs. Clinton’s proposals that will certainly helps to minimize the gap between middle class family and business owner to some extent. Going through this article I have an opportunity to update some of my general knowledge about tax system of the United States like corporate tax, exit tax, surcharge tax, …show more content…

Trump’s proposals on taxes to eliminate the estate tax, to decrease the corporate tax, to cut off the top marginal income tax rate, and to apply the pass-through entities, which according to Mrs. Clinton is a “Trump loophole”, will benefit only billionaires and business owners just like him (chozick, “Hillary Clinton Twists the Knife in Donald Trump’s Tax Proposals”). Some of his policies are even criticized by the people of his own republican party, which makes me feel that he is in the run of presidential election just because he has money to invest for election. So far I know money plays significant role in election and after election to form rules and laws and most of them are in favor of business people and wealthy people. Some of the people with whom I work, support Mr. trump because they have feeling that since Mr. Trump has business mind, he knows how to make money and that will strength the economy of the whole nation but they have no idea what plan he has on his mind. Same goes to the Mrs. Clinton, though she have magnetic plan on tax issues and income inequality, we never know what she has actually planned for future after winning the

Warren Buffett is also an active politician and he worked as the economic advisor of the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama. Buffett supported Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008 and helped him since he got over the maximum power of the country. Warren admitted that he grew up in a ‘republican family’ and that he became democrat thanks to his wife Susan. Buffett admitted that as time passed he disagreed many times with the President’s proposals such as the health care program and that he had to work on it so it wouldn’t fail. In 2011, one of the most arguable economic problems the country had to face was the implementation of a new tax plan named the ‘Buffett Rule’.

When Myers explained how tax structure is, she said, “the 400 Americans with the highest adjusted gross income saw their effective tax rates plummet from 30 percent in 1995 to 17 percent in 2007” (par.14). Myers tells us that the reason for this is because some big companies, like General Electric in 2010, don’t pay corporate taxes, and still benefit from millions of dollars in government subsidies. The people should know where their tax dollars are going, and to show that most of the time we don’t even benefit from what we pay for taxes, it’s the big companies and wealthy class that get the benefits. The Shorthorn readers may find it important to know how much they are spending on taxes and where their tax dollars are going, but Myers doesn’t provide enough information to back her

While I agree with and support the value of equal opportunity, ultimately I believe the cycle of the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer will not end unless the wealthy are fair about paying their taxes without loopholes. As it stands today, the American income tax policy is progressive; there are six marginal tax brackets ranging from 10% (lowest income) to 39.6% (highest income).

history but it provokes an angry reaction from the American Left. The bill reduced personal income tax rates by 25 percent in three annual increments, cut capital gains and estate taxes, and reduced business taxes.” The illogical point was cutting taxes as the same rate for everyone. While several industries and high income earners received numerous benefits, low income earners still suffered financial burden because of “trickle-down economics.” In fact, federal income tax rates cut significantly for the wealthiest 20 percent of taxpayers.

In Bernie Sanders book, The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class, he states on the issue of how a tax break in favor of millionaires will only continue the decline of middle class families, poverty to increase and for there to only be a great gap between the wealthy and middle class. On December 10, 2010, Bernie Sanders brought to the attention to the House of Senate how President Obama’s and the Republicans agreement on a tax break for millionaires would not be the greatest of plans. He brings to light how unjust it would be that millionaires would receive tax breaks while the lower and middle class continue to get higher tax rates. Ultimately what Senator Bernie Sanders is trying to clarify is, that this tax agreement will only cause damage to future generations. In his point of view, if this were to occur, this will only cause American citizens to believe that the political system is declining the progress of the middle class but

Historically, periods in which tax rates were higher produced inadequate and stagnant economic growth. Politicians and lobbyists propose that taxing the upper classes will lessen the burden on the middle and lower classes, which stimulates the economy. This is not only false, but basic critical thinking reveals that when the “rich” have more money in their pockets, they are more likely to invest or raise wages if they employ individuals. One common misconception of tax rates is that high tax rates generate more tax revenue, and lower tax rates generate less tax revenue. On paper, this would make sense.

Since individuals and businesses are required to pay various kinds of taxes, it is important to understand how tax laws shaped American society. America was tax-free for much of its early history; only after the Revolution did we have a government that was cautious on taxation. These laws has influenced our society in many positive ways, but has also had many negative outcomes. One way these laws has shaped American society is through the economic risks that we take which helped our tax preferences be taken accounted for and stand the test of time.

Sometimes, how they engage in the debate becomes more important than what they say in their arguments. Trump and Clinton both present reasonable ideas in regard to federal taxes, but as the conflict intensifies, both candidates behave in ways that are potentially damaging to their public image. This concept of “how” thus pushes identity goals to the forefront of the conflict. Relation issues also become a driving force in the presidential debate. Clinton argues in favor of actions that mostly align with Democratic ideals such as progressive taxation.

In this essay, I will focus on the tax reform bill, which the House of Representatives passed on November 16, 2017 (Fox & Walsh, 2017). The bill made a number of changes to the individual and corporate tax codes (Kaeding, 2017). This tax bill is a major overhaul of the tax codes, more than three decades and was the result of a lot of negotiations between both parties and passed with bipartisan support (Fox & Walsh, 2017). Thirteen Republicans did not support the bill and none of the Democrats supported the bill (DeBonis & Paletta, 2017).

Why must the rich pay more tax to help the poor? Although taxing more on rich seems unfair for the rich, it is necessary that rich people should pay more tax and the amount they pay are based on their incomes. First of all, the important reason that can be presented is that the rich people have utilized the public system more. As Elizabeth Warren said, "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.”
