Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The 27,000 Americans with more than $10 million of income have lower average federal income tax rates than the 580,000 Americans with income between $1 million and $10 million. And though the share of federal income tax revenue from taxpayers with income in the top percentile rose from 33.2 percent in 2001 to 42.3 percent in 2020, that doesn’t mean the affluent are more oppressed or less well off. That’s because over the two decades spanning 2001 through 2020, their share of total before-tax income has risen, and their average effective income tax rate has declined. Those observations, and others discussed below, add important context to — and counter the thrust of — assertions by the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal . First, about the income tax code, the board noted: “There is no denying that it is steeply progressive.” And second, it said, “The trend over the past two decades is that the income tax burden has … [Read more...] about Are The Superrich More Burdened And Paying The Highest Tax Rates?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most legal settlements are taxable, even for a devastating fire loss. That grim fact can be an unpleasant surprise to fire victims and seems particularly unfair. There are federal tax bill pending that if passed, could make certain fire lawsuit recoveries nontaxable. The proposed federal bill was introduced in 2022 by Congressmen Doug LaMalfa (R – Calif.) and Mike Thompson (D – Calif.) and would exempt thousands of fire victims who are receiving compensation from the PG&E Fire Victims Trust from having to pay federal income tax on their settlements. However, the Congressional session ended, and a new Congress was sworn in, before it passed, making the federal bill effectively dead. A new, substantially identical, bill, H.R.176, was quickly introduced in the new Congress by Representative LaMalfa (along with other co-sponsors, including Representative Thompson) in January 2023. It too has not seen any significant … [Read more...] about Fire Victims Wait Years For PG&E & Edison To Settle Then Face IRS Taxes

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin “The core of your team gets built on the road,” said Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault on Sunday evening before the team hit the road for a trip out west. To him, road trips are great for a developing young team and there are plenty of lessons to be learned. “I love playing on the road. It’s a great test,” said Daigneault. “It’s strips away everything except for your team. It’s just you. I actually think road games, wins and losses, build a lot of chemistry because it limits a lot of distractions.” While these games are great tests, they’re extremely difficult to win. In fact, only two teams in the entire Western Conference have a winning record on the road this season. Oklahoma City is currently 13-21 away from Paycom Center in the 2022-23 campaign and facing a pivotal a four-game road trip. Over the course of the next week, the Thunder will play the LA Clippers twice, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers … [Read more...] about OKC Thunder To Face Most Pivotal Road Trip Of Season

I never expected that to be part of my college experience. “So then winning a National Championship, three Pac-12 Championships, 2 Pac-12 Tournament Championships; so I have a lot to be proud of for my Stanford career.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Prepaid college savings plans have long been an alternative to a 529 plans when it comes to saving for college. What is a prepaid college tuition plan ? Generally speaking, these plans let parents lock in college tuition at today's prices with the goal of funding school ahead of time. The idea behind these plans is letting families purchase college units or credits with a lump sump payment, or through regular payments, at which point the plan administrator invests the money on their behalf. With the money stashed away and invested, the goal of these accounts is growing the underlying funds to keep up with rising tuition costs until the child reaches college age. At that point, the funds are transferred to the school to cover tuition costs and other eligible higher education expenses. While that all sounds good and well, something is going wrong in the prepaid college tuition industry — at least in the state of … [Read more...] about Prepaid College Savings Plan Under Fire In Maryland: Should You Be Worried?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin French President Emmanuel Macron took a bold step last Friday by raising the legal retirement age in his country from 62 to 64, bypassing parliament and potentially setting his government up for a vote of no confidence. The unpopular pension reform, Macron says, is necessary to address the financial deficits caused by pandemic spending and the European energy crisis. With the U.S. watching closely, could France’s pension reform serve as a blueprint for future changes to Social Security? I don’t envy Macron for making this tough call. The people of France enjoy one of the most generous pension systems in the European Union (EU). According to 2020 data, France spent a jaw-dropping 14.7% of its GDP on pensions alone. However, the sustainability of this pension system is being threatened by demographic changes. The Western European country has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, and the expected years in … [Read more...] about From France To The U.S.: Pension Reforms And The Retirement Age Debate

Other red states such as Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas are following Tennessee’s lead, pushing for similar legislation against such performances. “Just as state legislatures have worked to protect children from harmful cross-sex hormones or experimental surgeries, they are also tackling the broader problem of activist educators and administrators attempting to influence young children and push the left’s radical gender ideology,” Jessica Anderson, Heritage Action executive director, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. After Tennessee became the first state to prohibit drag shows in places where children may be present, several red states are pushing for similar legislation.
