QUESTIONS: (discuss these fully)
1. What does “progressive taxation” mean? What is your opinion
about the role of government regarding taxation? Should we worry about
taxes that have a regressive effect on the taxpayer?
2. As a society, should we worry about the distribution or income or
simply allow market forces to make that determination. What do you
think would happen if there was no attempt to influence the distribution
of income and wealth…would the distribution: stay the same…become less
concentrated…become more concentrated in the hands of fewer people?
3. We hear many politicians suggesting that lowering taxes will
always increase economic growth, create more jobs and ultimately mean
more tax revenue. Is this true?
4. Does “trickle-down economics” really work? If we allow those at
the top of the income ladder to make more and more, does that trickle
down to those at lower income levels and increase the number of jobs?
5. Regarding the current debate on tax brackets, should those above
$250,000 per year receive a permanent reduction in taxes as is being
considered for lower income individuals?
6. In your opinion, have the changes in income distribution contributed to the unemployment/recession problem?
7. What changes would you like to see in our tax law? Support your answer.
8. What is your opinion about the distribution of wealth—which is
much more disparate than income. Should we be concerned that so few
have an investment in the system?
9. What is government’s role in the overall distribution of income and wealth?
