I'd have to disagree with you on some points.
For example, the addition of $1000 for the "pass through"
on landlord's property taxes. If you're going to add that,
you need to add a myriad of other "add ons" for each
hypothetical taxpayer, e.g., the property taxes passed
through to shops at the mall, which in turn tack them on to
the cost of goods sold, the myriad additions to property
taxes paid by property owners, in addition to the assessed
amount (in California, there is always another bond issue,
which raises the ante considerably), gasoline taxes, etc.
As you do that, the gap widens.
Besides, based on anecdotal evidence <g> the alleged
near rich pay way more in taxes......both in dollars and in
percentage.
There are self employment taxes, e.g. |
