Investment Language 101 Series: TERM OF THE DAY: -- What Is: ' Progressive Tax ' | E.49 | Trading Candle Cheat Sheet Incl. Each Episode.
A series designed to help all the new people flooding into & entering Crypto/Investments daily who get thrown into the rabbit hole so to speak and everything is new to them.
-- Bitshares 101 Focus/Resources Section for New Crypto Folks now included near the end of each post - starting just prior to Christmas 2017. BTS is a Decentralized Exchange and much more. Very undervalued!
It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY one thing each episode in blue collar, easy to understand language to give a SHORT OVERVIEW of the term or lesson of the day.
It is specifically designed this way to keep it short and simple.
People can then search out extra info if they wish.
I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.
TERM OF THE DAY:
What is....
' Progressive Tax ' ?
--
A progressive tax is a tax that takes a larger percentage from high-income earners than it does from low-income individuals. The U.S. income tax system is considered progressive. In 2016, individuals who have under $9,275 of taxable income pay 10% in income tax, while taxpayers earning more than the benchmark cutoff of $415,050 fall into tax brackets with rates up to 39.6%.

Breaking Down...
' Progressive Tax ' :
--
The progressivity of a tax structure depends on how quickly the tax rates rise in relation to increases in income. For example, if one tax code has a low rate of 10% and a high rate of 30%, and another tax code has income tax rates ranging from 10% to 80%, the latter is more progressive.
-- The Advantages of a Progressive Tax:
Progressive tax systems reduce tax burdens on people who can least afford to pay them, and these systems leave more money in the pockets of low-wage earners, who are likely to spend all of their money and stimulate the economy. Progressive tax systems also have the ability to collect more taxes than flat taxes or regressive taxes, as tax rates are indexed to increase as income climbs. Progressive taxes allow the people with the greatest amount of resources to fund a greater portion of the services all people and businesses rely on, such as roads, first responders and snow removal.
-- Disadvantages of Progressive Taxes:
Critics of progressive taxes consider them to be discriminatory against wealthy people or high-income earners. These critics believe the U.S. progressive income tax is effectively a means of income redistribution, based on the myth most taxes are used to fund social welfare programs. However, only a small portion of government spending is devoted to welfare payments.
-- Difference Between Progressive Tax and Regressive Tax:
The opposite of a progressive tax, a regressive tax, takes a larger percentage of income from low-wage earners than it does from high-wage earners. Sales tax is an example of a regressive tax because if two individuals buy the same amount of goods or services, the sales tax constitutes a higher percentage of the lower-earning individual's wages and a lower percentage of the higher-earning individual's wages.
-- Difference Between Progressive Tax and Flat Tax:
Unlike progressive and regressive tax systems, a flat tax system does not impose different tax rates on people with different income levels. Instead, flat taxation imposes the same percentage tax on everyone regardless of income. For example, if everyone is taxed at 10%, regardless of income, this is a flat tax.
The U.S. payroll tax is often considered a flat tax because it taxes all wage earners at the same percentage. However, as of 2016, this tax is not applied on earnings over $118,500, and as a result, it is only a flat tax for people earning under that amount. Taxpayers earning over that amount pay a lower percentage of their total income in payroll tax, making the tax regressive.

I am leaving these images I made here until I figure out one that fits properly and looks right for the first/main image for the post/series.

Since Steemit dev's changed the size of the picture frame that shows, it has honestly been a real problem getting images to match the screen, it was perfectly fine months ago before they messed around with it.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
