American: Who Really Pays the Taxes? is a disturbing, eye-opening
look at a tax system gone out of control. Originally designed to
spread the cost of government fairly, our tax code has turned into
a gold mine of loopholes and giveaways manipulated by the
influential and wealthy for their own benefit.
If you feel as if the tax laws are rigged against the average
taxpayer, you're right:
-- Middle-income taxpayers pick up a growing share of the nation's
tax bill, while our most profitable corporations pay little or
nothing.
-- Your tax status is effected more by how many lawyers and
lobbyists you can afford than by your resources or needs.
-- Our best-known and most successful companies pay more taxes to
foreign governments than to our own.
-- Cities and states start bidding wars to attract business through
tax breaks -- taxes made up for by the American taxpayer.
Who really pays the taxes? Barlett and Stelle, authors of the
best-selling america: What Went Wrong?, offer a graphic expose of
what's wrong with our tax system, how it got that way, and how to
fix it.
