Recommendation
US income inequality “has surpassed Gilded Age levels.” Federal budget policy analyst Andrew Fieldhouse looks at how the US tax regime exacerbated this disparity. He offers a new policy direction to reverse this trend and to generate revenue to reduce deficits. Though statistics-heavy, this paper is cogent and comprehensive. getAbstract recommends it to experts and laypeople interested in the relationship between tax policy and income inequality.
