Incomes and Income Taxes Payable by Large and Small
Observers question future tax policy as government expenses rise. An article suggests the next step may be heavier taxation on small and moderate incomes, citing U.S. and England comparisons and federal statistics from 1950 through 1830. It argues that the very large and moderately large incomes pay most taxes, while under 10,000 dollars in income are two thirds of all incomes but only six percent of taxes. The piece predicts broader tax shifts, with state taxes following federal patterns.
