This graph shows a poll regarding the American citizens' opinion on the "Buffett rule" concept brought up by Barack Obama. 52 percent of Americans say that capital gains and dividends should be taxed at the same rate as income earned from work, according to the poll.

According to Wikipedia, the Buffett Rule is a tax plan proposed by President Barack Obama in 2011 to alleviate income inequality in the United States between the top 1percent of Americans and the remaining 99 percent of Americans, due to the disproportionate income growth in the 1 percent- group as compared to the 99 percent- group. The tax plan would apply to individuals earning more than 1 million U.S. dollars per year; this comprised the top 450,000 of Americans by income when the rule was proposed. The plan is named after American investor Warren Buffett, who publicly stated in early 2011 that he disagreed with the rich paying less in federal taxes, as a portion of income, than the middle class, and has voiced support for increased taxes on the wealthy. It would implement a higher minimum tax rate for taxpayers in the highest income bracket to ensure that they do not pay a lower percentage of income in taxes than less-affluent Americans.

This general survey elicited opinions on a variety of topics including the Persian Gulf War, peace in the Middle East, paying more federal tax in order to accomplish certain objectives, and estimates of how many Americans cheat on their income tax. Those surveyed were also asked whether Japanese or American cars were a better value, and whether greater fuel efficiency or safety devices such as air bags would be preferred if the respondent was buying a new car and was able to spend an additional five hundred dollars on one of these features. Questions on economic matters probed for the likelihood of an adult in the respondent's family being out of work and actively looking for a job within the next 12 months, and the length of time the respondent could live on savings if the chief wage earner lost his/her job. Health and family issues focused on whether physician-assisted suicide should be allowed, whether the respondent would consider taking his/her life if stricken with a disease that would eventually destroy both mind and body, whether race should be a factor in adoption, the permanence of adoption, whether someone should consider marrying a person they are not in love with, and whether people get married with the expectation that their marriage will last forever. Additional questions pertained to professional baseball, the specific feature of his/her physical appearance that the respondent would change, and the respondent's perception of how he/she looks in a bathing suit. Background information includes marital status, employment, political party affiliation, education, age, race, and family income.

Full Name: Wage Bracket Percentage Method Tables for Computing Income Tax Withholding From Gross Wages (For Wages Paid in 2018, America)

This data set represents the American 2018 tables for withholding gross wages (not from wages exceeding allowance amount). Wages withheld from employee checks by the employer are computed by looking employee's W-4 form, finding the number of allowances, the pay-period of the business(Weekly, Semi-Monthly, etc..) and filing status (Married/Single), and then finding the wage range the employees change fall into. Once this is done, the employer will subtract a pre determined base amount (Base Amount Subtracted from Gross Wages), multiply that by a per-determined percentage (Percentage to Multiply), and the result will be the amount withheld from the employee's check for federal taxes. This amount does not include state, social security, and other taxes.
For example, an employee that is paid on a Bi-Weekly basis, that has filed for 2 allowances and Single, who has earned $2000 in the pay-period will have the following amount withheld from their check for federal taxes:

$2000 - $1171.38(base amount) = $828.62

$828.62 * .22 (per-determined percentage ) = $182.30 (amount withheld from their check for federal taxes)

This data set was developed from a burning hatred for not being able to find this information in an excel or csv format. So I have made one that can hopefully save someone else a little time and energy. For more information on tax laws and practices in America, please refer to the IRS.

Many people report disliking taxes despite the fact that tax funds are used to provide essential services for the taxpayer and fellow citizens. In light of past research demonstrating that people are more likely to engage in prosocial action when they recognize how their assistance positively impacts the recipient, we examine whether recognition of how one’s tax contributions help other citizens–perceived prosocial taxation–predicts more supportive views of taxation and greater engagement. We conducted three correlational studies using North American samples (N = 902, including a nationally representative sample of over 500 US residents) in which we find that perceived prosocial taxation is associated with greater enjoyment paying taxes, willingness to continue paying taxes, and larger financial contributions in a tax-like payment. Findings hold when controlling for several demographic variables, participants’ general prosocial orientation, and the perception that tax dollars are being put to good use. In addition, we examined data from six waves of the World Values Survey (N > 474,000 across 107 countries). We find that people expressing trust in their government and civil service–thereby indicating some confidence that their taxes will be used in prosocial ways–are significantly more likely to state that it is never justifiable to cheat on taxes. Together, these studies offer a new and optimistic perspective on taxation; people may hold more positive views and be more willing to contribute if they believe their contribution benefits others.

The number of retired workers receiving Social Security benefits increased from approximately ***** million in 2010 to ***** million in 2023. This figure has increased at the same rate year-on-year over the past decade and is likely to continue into the future. What is Social Security? Social Security benefits are payments, which are paid out by the U.S. government to qualified retirees and disabled people, as well as to their spouses, children and survivors. These payments are meant to provide them with partial replacement income. Social security expenditure is forecast to increase year-on-year over the next decade, as it has since the beginning of the 21st century. The impact of demographic change This is likely to the fact that the U.S. population is aging rapidly, which means that seniors will account for a greater proportion of the population in the future. This demographic change will put pressure on government resources, because the workforce whose tax dollars pay for social benefits will make up a smaller percentage of the population than now. Americans who are 65 years and older are the demographic group estimated to grow the most over the next 40 years, whereas the other groups will mostly remain the same.
