    • 家园 新加坡是10%的人缴纳90%的税
    • 家园 Stage seven, Dependency

      Stage seven, Dependency, this is the point where leaders arise who promise the party will go on forever, as long as you put them in charge. The people in the culture willingly give up the right to think for themselves in return for a complete abdication of personal responsibility.

    • 家园 still paying tax

      eg: sales tax,fuel tax,etc...

      Even not paying income tax , you still may pay tax when you spend money for goods or services .

    • 家园 高收入门槛其实低于15万,15万已经是top 5%了

      Household income in the United State

      基本上15万就算5%了。10%的高收入门槛估计在13万左右,河里的河友估计一大半都进入这个门槛了,交了一堆苛捐杂税以后大家就纷纷又降到门槛以下了。其实联邦税收的莫名其妙,大家大部分的福利都不是联邦税提供的,比如说警察消防员都是州税供养,修桥铺路都是油钱里面的燃油税。估计咱的联邦税大头都在伊拉克,阿富汗打了水漂

    • 家园 别混淆了Owning Tax 和 Paying Tax

      一半美国人在4月18日不欠税并不是说他们没交税哦。

      我的理解是这些相对低收入者在填W-4的时候没有预计到很多抵扣项目,使得他们在年底的时候一算下来平时的Withhold已经足够甚至太多。而高收入者们因为很多抵扣项目没他们的份,比如房贷的利息抵扣被Phase out了,所以往往要补交欠税,就是Owning Tax。

      • 家园 Not owning tax does not mean

        anything. Many people can still paying very high income taxes, mine is just one example--with federal/state/city combined.

        The monthly withholding rate could be pretty high, in my case, 35-40%.

        zero owning tax on April 15 could imply: the withholding rate is SET TOO HIGH, and IRS takes free loan from you and me.

        My effective tax rate is too high in 2010, even after tax refund. Crying.

        • 家园 BSO

          暗夸自己收入高呀。。。

          • BSO
            家园 no, no.

            not at all. Bad tax planning.

            • 家园 那现在一定好了。把tax planning给分享分享啦。

              让俺们也学习点经验。

              都说自己弄个公司可以避税。是真的吗?
