摘要

Estimates of the top one percent's share of total U.S. income have been cited widely as evidence of a large and continuous increase in U.S. income inequality since the 1970s. Yet, many changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations after 1980 made a dramatic difference in what is reported as income to the Internal Revenue Service. Lower tax rates on individual income induced thousands of businesses to switch to filing under the individual tax rather than the corporate tax. Corporate executives switched from accepting stock options taxed as capital gains to nonqualified stock options taxed as salaries. New tax-deferred savings plans also resulted in much of the dividends and capital gains of middle-income taxpayers being shifted away from tax returns, thus making billions of dollars of investment income invisible in tax returns (except at the top). Meanwhile, exclusion of transfer payments in the most widely cited estimates results in exaggerating the increase at the top by ignoring a growing fraction of lower incomes.
