DeLauro and Schakowsky would pull together revenue by increasing the Medicare payroll tax, hiking excise taxes on tobacco, beer, wine, liquor and sugary drinks, scrapping the 2017 GOP tax cuts and slapping a 5% surtax on individuals with an adjusted gross income above $500,000.

Since the expanded surtax would offset the costs of the additional higher education and healthcare spending, Clinton's new proposals are unlikely to significantly change the CRFB's estimate that Clinton's proposals would add about $250 billion to the national debt over 10 years, the group said.

If you wanted to soak the wealthy to pay for it, for example, you could enact a 5.6 percentage point surtax on families with income over $1 million, as Senate Democrats once proposed — yet that would cover only about 45 percent of the cost.
|
|
There are many more: infrastructure investment, criminal justice reform, reducing the burden of higher education costs, perhaps cutting the corporate tax rate in a trade for Clinton's proposed 85033 percent surtax on personal incomes over $5 million, and, yes, even an Asian and European trade deal.

Currently, corporations face a top rate of 35 percent, while owners of many small businesses — typically set up as sole proprietorships, limited liability companies, partnerships or S corporations — pay income-tax rates topping out at 39.6 percent, plus a 3.8 percent Medicare surtax to fund Obamacare.

A number of tax analysts, notably NYU Law's Lily Batchelder, have proposed moving to an inheritance tax, where the living beneficiaries of an estate, rather than the deceased person's estate itself, would include inheritance money in their taxable income and perhaps pay an additional surtax on it.
|
|
But taxpayers in Clinton-backing counties would see more than three times that amount: around $21.9 billion The money would come from the elimination of a 0.9 percent extra Medicare tax on wage income and a 3.8 percent investment income surtax, both of which apply only to high earners.

"There's only one thing you can really do — I mean you can devalue, but you can do something else which I think is probably much better than devaluing — you can charge surtax or you can charge a tax for products that they sell in the United States," Trump said.

The Affordable Care Act did include a small 0.9 percent surtax on wages for wealthy individuals, which put their effective top rate (including the existing 2.9 percent Medicare payroll tax) at 43.4 percent by the time Obama left office; Trump's tax cuts took that number down to 403 percent.

Raising the corporate income tax, enacting an entirely new surtax on businesses, and changing the way that businesses get to deduct their investment costs for tax purposes, all of which Warren proposes to do, would discourage people from investing and make the United States a less competitive place to do business.

It should end the ObamaCare taxes, like the Medical Device tax, the Medicare surtax, the penalties and limitations that were slapped on Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts, the so-called Cadillac Tax, and the other fees and excise taxes used to pay for the bureaucratic mess created by ObamaCare.
|
|
The new plan calls for the tax rate on so-called "pass-through" entities, such as LLCs, to be cut from the highest marginal personal rate of 39.6 percent (it's actually more than 43 percent when taking into account the Obamacare surtax on the nation's highest earners) to only 25 percent.
|
|
Second, 2013 was the first year that many of the taxes in the Affordable Care Act took effect, including a 3.8 percent surtax on investment income (including capital gains) and a 0.9 percent increase in the Medicare payroll tax, only applying to income above $200,000 for individuals or $250,000 for couples.

They'd even share the 45 percent rate for estates between $3.5 million and $10 million; Sanders adds a 50 percent bracket for estates between $10 million and $50 million, and then a 55 percent bracket for estates larger than that, plus a 10 percent surtax for billionaires (hence the 65 percent figure).

WASHINGTON — President Trump's proposal to slash individual and business taxes and erase a surtax that funds the Affordable Care Act would amount to a multitrillion-dollar shift from federal coffers to America's richest families and their heirs, setting up a politically fraught battle over how best to use the government's already strained resources.
|
|
"However, when I see Elizabeth Warren come out with a ridiculous plan of taxing wealthy people a surtax of 2 percent because it makes a good headline or sends out a tweet when she knows for a fact that's not something that's ever gonna be passed, this is what's wrong," he said.
|
|
Clinton's surtax proposal draws further attention to a contrast she welcomes — she'll soak the rich, while her socialist opponent wants to soak you — and gestures in the direction of an answer to how to find adequate tax revenue to finance the progressive agenda without asking some middle-class people to pay some of the load.

Partners at private-equity firms and hedge funds typically treat a big portion of the fees they charge their clients as a capital gain — that is, as profit on the sale of an investment — so they can pay tax at the capital-gains rate of 20 percent (plus a surtax of 3.8 percent typically).
|
|
Sanders's own bill, the American Health Security Act of 2013, adds a 6.7 percent payroll tax and a new progressive income tax (2.2 percent for income under $200,000 for singles, with rates up to 5.2 percent for people making more than that), as well as a 5.4 percent surtax on the incomes of millionaires.
|
|
However, about $1 trillion – roughly half – of these costs are being paid for by a variety of taxes and fees that the Republicans want to repeal, provisions like the 3.8 percent levy on investment income, the 0.9 percent surtax on Medicare hospital insurance, penalties on individuals who do not buy coverage and so forth.

Almost two-thirds of the revenue increase would be attributable to three of Clinton's proposals aimed at the wealthy: a 220006-percent surtax on adjusted gross income over $2202 million, a 2628-percent minimum tax on those with adjusted gross income over $28500 million and a 6900-percent cap on the value of certain tax preferences, TPC said.
|
|
The biggest revenue raiser of the bunch, TPC finds, is the itemized deduction cap that Clinton borrowed from the Obama administration, followed by the 4 percent surtax, the capital gains hikes, and the Buffett rule: Clinton has assiduously avoided proposing any broad-based tax increases, most notably declining to endorse the FAMILY Act, a proposal by Sen.

Mr. Booker's office estimates that the program would carry an annual price tag of about $60 billion, and would be paid for by restoring the estate tax rate to its 2009 levels, closing loopholes in the capital gains tax, and adding a surtax rate for estates worth at least $10 million and at least $50 million.

"The robust effect the Millionaires Surtax would have on the tax liability of one of the nation's richest men is a good illustration of how effective this simple reform would be in ensuring the super wealthy pay something closer to their fair share," American for Tax Fairness Executive Director Frank Clemente said in a statement.

HR 20083 adds a bunch of taxes on rich people — a 22008 percent tax on stock trades; a 22009 percent-per-year-to-maturity tax on transactions for bonds, swaps, and trades; a 22010 percent surtax on income above $225,000; a new 6 percent tax on investment income — but it also imposes a 3 percent payroll tax on wages under $53,000 and a 20093 percent tax on wages above that.
|
|
Beyond sharply cutting income tax rates across the board, both Mr. Trump and the House Republicans would eliminate the estate tax (which currently applies to only about 5,300 of the richest families); end the 3.8 percent surtax on high earners' investment income, which helps pay for health coverage for lower-income Americans; and scrap the alternative minimum tax, which is aimed at making it harder for the affluent to take advantage of various tax breaks.
