WhoopsyDaisy 05/06/12 7:19:00 PM #32:	Without knowing anything on this topic, it sounds like there's a 75% marginal income tax on money over €1,000,000. What that means is that every euro OVER €1,000,000 gets taxes 75%, not that every euro OF someone who makes more than €1,000,000 gets taxed 75%. Let's say that someone who makes €999,999 pays 450k in taxes. If you make €1,000,000, you don't pay €750,000 in taxes, you pay 75% of the euro in that tax bracket on top of the 450k, or €450,000.75.

red sox 777 05/07/12 1:11:00 AM #39:	And we all know that massive crippling tax burdens on the wealthy and corporations have no effect on their economic behavior whatsoever. It's more true than you might think. The elasticity of work is probably closer to 0 than you think. Are you actually going to work less because you get taxed more? No, because I still make more money when I work more. The elasticity of investment relative to taxes is probably higher however. And the reason is that investments can go bad, so you need enough of a reward to justify the risk, and taxes lower that reward, without mitigating the risk. Unless you have the government give handouts for capital losses. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1116511] in France off...

red sox 777 05/07/12 1:16:00 AM #40:	I'm rather uncomfortable with a marginal tax rate above 50% though. Psychologically, there's something significant about giving the government a greater share of your earnings than you get to keep yourself. And even tax rates of 50% should not be approached until we get really really high incomes. At least 1 million USD, probably more like 10 million. For people who only make 250k a year, even a 35% tax rate is a major burden that significantly impacts their economic decisions. For example, should I become a doctor or not? A 35% tax rate at the 250k level is sufficient to have a major chilling effect on people's willingness to attend medical school. This is in large part the same reasoning for why investments should receive a lower tax rate than work. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1116512] in France off...

IngmarBirdman 05/07/12 1:21:00 AM #41:	Are you actually going to work less because you get taxed more? No, because I still make more money when I work more. Well, maybe? Could be it isn't worth the time to work more when the marginal tax rate is too high. So you furlough your employees and take the rest of the fiscal year off. Bad for the working class. -- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A.

SmartMuffin 05/07/12 6:12:00 AM #45:	It's more true than you might think. The elasticity of work is probably closer to 0 than you think. Are you actually going to work less because you get taxed more? No, because I still make more money when I work more. No, but you might move yourself (or more likely your corporate headquarters) over to Switzerland, which is right **ing there... -- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://img.imgcake.com/smartmuffin/barkleyjpgde.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:1116517] in France off...

So you furlough your employees and take the rest of the fiscal year off. Bad for the working class. Not a problem if the investment tax rate is low. As CEO, you are paid more if your company does well because the company's stock is worth more, and you own stock in the company, or are rewarded with stock options. On the other hand, CEOs can be and are paid huge salaries even if the company tanks. There doesn't have to be a correlation between company performance and CEO pay on the salary side. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1116519] in France off...
