Rich Lowry: Obama sees in the wealthy achieve equality – The Daily Advance

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Admin

Fog hung over that of President Barack Obama earlier this week in Osawatomie, Kan., where he delivered a speech malodorous as Wall Street and the camp was about as wise.

How so? The President maintained that the inequality is increasing, it has become more difficult in the 1980 's by the end of World War II for a child to climb out of poverty to middle class. What happened between World War II and 1980? For one, we have the emergence of the Great Society. The fact that the establishment of the State liberal dream coincides, in his view, with a diminution of progress might be made more reflective of the person stop and think. Not our President.

The federal Government has been running a major highway, tax and benefits systems redistributionist. The top 1 percent produce about 17 percent of all income and paid about 37 percent of all federal income tax. With the calculation of Robert Rector, Heritage Foundation welfare system had paid about $ 4 billion since the start of war on poverty. According to a Cornell economist Richard Burkhauser, once a tax policy, transfer payments, and such as are taken into account, all income groups have gained since the late 1970s.

The current tax code is thousands of pages. Full tax breaks or after tax. Best guess is that one way or another the total value of annual tax break in the current tax code in the North of 1.3 trillion dollars. If you just get rid of all the pigs-taxes-You would basically eliminate annual deficits. Opps, if you do this, you will create a whole set of winners and losers. Winners will be those who do not benefit from all current taxes and losers will be those who have to pay more taxes. This misses the point that the Editorial one way or another the wrong tax reform will create a series of winners and losers. In this world, the losers will be crying unfair and winners will be very happy.

It is interesting to note that a significant portion of any tax dollars collected spent in the process of auditing and collection. Simple tax code will free up valuable resources and provide a much needed boost to our economy is weak.

The problem is that Democrats like the tax code like that. They never seem to change only the proposed increase rates on high-income beneficiaries and providing bribes (tax incentives) to buy electric cars and solar panel that does not exist if it is not going to buy.

How much time and money if the US spent complying with the tax code "Byzantium"?

How distorted is our economy because of the perverse incentives built into the tax code?
