アメリカが累進課税でないことを知って驚く？
日本は実質、累進課税でない、という話をしていたら、マンキューが、Daiamond-Saezの記事の前の記事で、アメリカについて全く同じことを言っていることに気付いた。
マンキューは、この事実にかなり驚いている模様。
となると、フラット税率で給付は定額（ベーカム）がよいとする「維新八策」も、今の複雑な課税－給付システムとあまり変わらないことになりそう。
実際、例えば、20％の税率で課税されても100万円もらえれば、年収500万円までは得だものね。税率35％でも年収300万円までは得。
そうすれば、日本年金機構も税務署も大幅に縮小できるぜ。
維新をほめたりけなしたり、忙しい罠。

＜The Congressional Budget Office has a new study of effective federal marginal tax rates for low and moderate income workers (those below 450 percent of the poverty line). The study looks at the effects of income taxes, payroll taxes, and SNAP (the program formerly known as Food Stamps). The bottom line is that the average household now faces an effective marginal tax rate of 30 percent. In 2014, after various temporary tax provisions have expired and the newly passed health insurance subsidies go into effect, the average effective marginal tax rate will rise to 35 percent.
What struck me is how close these marginal tax rates are to the marginal tax rates at the top of the income distribution. This means that we could repeal all these taxes and transfer programs, replace them with a flat tax along with a universal lump-sum grant, and achieve approximately the same overall degree of progressivity. ＞
