Biden’s tax plan could create a tax rate of as much 62% for New Yorkers and Californians, studies show

High earners in New York and California could face combined federal and state tax rates of 62% under Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s tax plan, according to experts.

Biden's tax plan could create a tax rate of as much 62% for New Yorkers and Californians, studies show

While Americans earning less than $400,000 would, on average, receive tax cuts under Biden's plan, the highest earners would face double-digit increases in their official tax rates, according to nonpartisan analyses.

www.cnbc.com

Do you get to keep 38%% of your income? No, of course not.

You also have to pay 7.25% sales tax. You have to pay property taxes directly or indirectly thru rent. There are taxes on your utility bill. A tax on every gallon of gasoline. Recycle tax on a car battery and on new tires. Taxes on your phone bill and water bill. You pay a fee for your license plate. You pay a tax at toll roads. You pay to enter government parks.

If you get to keep 20 cents on the dollar it would be a miracle. Do you think ANYONE with a lot of money will actually be paying those taxes - either by tax exemptions or leaving the USA with their money? To deal with upper and middle class people fleeing their states, the federal government will force people in other states to pay the budgets of California and New York.

And there are things they want to force you to buy - like insurance. Force everyone to do so. You must buy from only one insurance company - the government - under the Democratic Party's nationalization of health insurance plan.

No one pays the highest stated rates. I'm not saying high taxes aren't a problem, just disputing the ridiculously high numbers being thrown around. If anyone *actually* pays 62% (which they do not ... as in, no one, none, nobody ever), I'll happily represent them for 50% of the savings I get them from their claimed 62%.

CEO Pay Review: The Top 50 Highest Paid CEOs in 2019

CEO pay has continued to dominate the AGM season in 2019. We review the top 50 highest paid CEOs and see how this has changed from last year.

Elon Musk earns $2B a year. He would still be taking home over a billion dollars even with such tax rates. Pretty much all these guys would be still earning more than my family (including adding in my inlaws' earnings, since they do live with us) makes in 10 years (and my husband and I earn well above the median income) in single year. Most people, most families won't earn anywhere close to these amounts in their lifetimes.

Or these people I'm supposed to feel bad for having to pay that?

That, of course, ignores Joe’s desire to raise the FICA payroll tax cap from about $137K/year and to consider income from all sources as being subject to it. Another problem with Joe’s “10 year” plan is that he wants to raise federal revenue by about $2.8T and raise federal spending by at least $4T.

My bad. Let me clarify. I was referring to the first part of the claim, about payroll taxes, not the second part.

His spending plan is based on a long term proposal for prosperity, actually planning and being proactive, rather than reactive to situations.

Biden proposes $5 trillion in new spending, undaunted by Trump's massive deficits

The nation's deficits and outlays have hit post-World War II highs thanks to tax cuts under President Donald Trump, but Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is proposing adding to that, at least in the near term, with a $5.4 trillion spending plan.

www.cnn.com

By 2050, however, the federal debt would fall by 6.1%, while the economy would increase by 0.8%. This is partly because some of Biden's spending proposals ramp down after the first decade and partly because his package would increase worker productivity.

The Biden idea now seems to be to create a donut hole (break) in FICA payroll taxation between the SS cap (which increases annually) and $400K.

The bottom line is that Biden plans to increase federal spending more than federal taxation. Of course, Trump may be worse in that regard, but neither can do much about federal taxing or spending without the support (consent?) of congress critters.

I'm not disagreeing with that. But Trump is worse, especially in that his tax cuts failed. The tax increases will help add money to the coffers. That is a fact. Adding spending should be done carefully, but even businesses see the need to increase spending in a short term to plan for the future, to reduce costs or improve the future outcome or direction of the company. Short term spending for long term savings and benefits.

In my opinion, Trump is also worse in what he wants to spend money on. His goals have been to help the rich. We see that in farm subsidies going to large farming corporations. We see that in trying to get money to build the wall (including rerouting money that was never meant for that but will eventually have to be made up for). It includes spending insane amounts of money at his properties.

Farmers Got Billions From Taxpayers In 2019, And Hardly Anyone Objected

He is still asking for money for the border wall as well as the money to pay back what he stole from military morale projects.

Trump's budget will ask Congress for $8.6 billion for border wall

The demand is more than six times what Congress allocated for border projects in each of the past two fiscal years, and 6 percent more than Trump has corralled by invoking emergency powers this year.

A shrinking donut hole. His plan isn't indexed. Every year it takes a bigger bite out of the middle class.

In addition, the huge increase does little to nothing to fix social security's funding problem. It extends the solvency date by just 5 years.
