The Tax Burden...

40% of all earners make less than 10% of all income (individually, by
quintile), and 80% of all earners make less than 20% of all income (again, individually, by quintile). But perhaps a more revealing note is the percentage of income required to ensure food and shelter. For while there is a certain rickety defensible logic to the argument that a greater tax burden is borne with greater income, it becomes moot when shown (all quintile subsisting on the exact same food-stuffs) to occupy less than 1% of income while other quintile supple in the 10s, 20s or 30 percentiles for just food alone. <http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/ezraklein_archive?month=04&year=2009&base_name=the_tyranny_of_the_income_tax > ********************************************************************** Power, Speed, Scalability is 4D v11 SQL Upgrade today! http://store.4ddepot.com/ 4th Dimension Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://www.4D.com/support/faqnug.html Unsub: mailto:4D_Pub-Unsubscribe@...

I think I get your gist, and it's useful suggestion Mr A"d"V. But my
intent was to pause for appreciation, not search for a "solution" just yet. Precedent to a later notion of perhaps the better direction for that "work". though. The solution of burden/obligation is still itself a contender for that work... which, although not literal in creation, is of no less value itself, inspirationally, to actual creation, and so is of value of investigation in it's own right and, one might reasonably suggest, of prior logical order. max On Apr 14, 2009, at 7:24 PM, Thomas Swenson wrote: > Then hurry up and get to work! > > Sincerely, > > A "disabled" Veteran. > > On Apr 14, 2009, at 9:01 PM, Max Morrison wrote: > >> 40% of all earners make less than 10% of all income (individually, >> by quintile), and 80% of all earners make less than 20% of all >> income (again, individually, by quintile).
