Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich--And Cheat E Verybody Else Tapa blanda - 2005
de David Cay Johnston
With a new Prologue and updated with new material, this six-week "New York Times" bestseller reveals how everyday Americans are being robbed to subsidize those who make millions. (Legal Reference)
Resumen
Now updated with a new prologue!
Since the mid-1970s, there has been a dramatic shift in America's socioeconomic system, one that has gone virtually unnoticed by the general public. Tax policies and their enforcement have become a disaster, and thanks to discreet lobbying by a segment of the top 1 percent, Washington is reluctant or unable to fix them. The corporate income tax, the estate tax, and the gift tax have been largely ignored by the media. But the cumulative results are remarkable: today someone who earns a yearly salary of $60,000 pays a larger percentage of his income in taxes than the four hundred richest Americans.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston exposes exactly how the middle class is being squeezed to create a widening wealth gap that threatens the stability of the country. By relating the compelling tales of real people across all areas of society, he reveals the truth behind:
- "middle class" tax cuts and exactly whom they benefit
- how workers are being cheated out of their retirement plans while disgraced CEOs walk away with millions
- how some corporations avoid paying any federal income tax
- how a law meant to prevent cheating by the top 2 percent of Americans no longer affects most of them, but has morphed into a stealth tax on single mothers making just $28,000
- why the working poor are seven times more likely to be audited by the IRS than everyone else
- how the IRS became so weak that even when it was handed complete banking records detailing massive cheating by 1,600 people, it prosecuted only 4 percent of them
Johnston has been breaking pieces of this story on the front page of The New York Times for seven years. With Perfectly Legal, he puts the whole shocking narrative together in a way that will stir up media attention and make readers angry about the state of our country.
