  6. Kate Dore highlights how specific tax policies impact different wealth brackets differently. While new deductions for tips and overtime gained headlines, the largest benefits actually came from permanently extending the 2017 tax cuts. These changes primarily favored upper-middle and higher earners through expanded SALT deductions, while lower-income households saw more modest gains as many deductions do not generate direct refunds. Understanding these nuances reveals how status quo policies favor specific demographics over broad relief.

  10. “The numbers are really startling…. If you are someone with a very high income, the IRS stops counting pretty much at a million or more a year, but presumably it’s even more true further up the scale.

    “In 2011, before the right-wing Congress was able to do its work, more than 7% of tax returns in that range were audited, which is not unreasonable because there s obviously a lot of possibility for malfeasance there. It s not saying that 7% of people with incomes of more than a million were sent to jail. Obviously nothing like that, but we had widespread auditing, which among other things, encouraged people not to cheat on their taxes.

    “By 2019, just eight years later, that number had gone from 7.2% to 0.7%. So almost nobody with high incomes was being audited for possible tax fraud.”

  16. Paul Krugman argues that the American tax system is failing. [Click here to read more](paulkrugman.substack.com/p/fro). He contends that the nation has shifted into a "cheatistocracy" where systemic IRS funding cuts have allowed the wealthy to evade taxes while honest citizens bear the burden of public costs. This erosion of tax integrity threatens social cohesion and favors those with the means to bypass common rules. Krugman provides a sharp analysis of how policy decisions impact economic fairness for everyone. Great piece by Paul Krugman. #TaxPolicy #Oligarchy #SocialCohesion

  29. Australian Booksellers Propose Tax Offset to Support Bookstores

    "Books are not merely consumer goods; they carry cultural, educational and democratic value that markets do not fully price,” reads a policy brief from the Australian Booksellers Association. “When structural pressures and loss-leader pricing displace specialist bookshops, the infrastructure that supports Australian literary culture is eroded.”

  33. If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?
