Observations on Personal Income between 1990 and 2000, Table 2.1

+ More people working has boosted FICA withholdings

+ Interest payments have grown from 2.28% (94) to 3.03% (00) of disposable personal income, after falling from 2.7% (90).

It would appear the personal interest coverage ratio, on a gross level has not grown to extreme.

+ Interest and Dividend Income represent appx 17% of personal income vs 57% wages.

I was concerned that rate cuts might actually reduce personal income, and it's quite likely that this will occur to some extent.

+ Taxes as a percent of Disposable income have increased from 19% (90) to 23.6% (00). Gross Income, 16% (90) to 20% (00)

Bracket Creep, higher employment, taxes on gains, taxes on Roth conversions?
