Study: Graduated Income Tax Proposal Fails to Protect Taxpayers from Bracket Creep

Study: Graduated Income Tax Proposal Fails to Protect Taxpayers from Bracket Creep Share Article The state constitutional amendment proposed by the Service Employees International Union and the Massachusetts Teachers Association to add a 4 percent surtax to all annual income above $1 million purports to use cost-of-living-based bracket adjustments as a safeguard that will ensure only millionaires will pay. But historic income growth trends suggest that bracket creep will cause many non-millionaires to be subject to the surtax over time, according to a new study published by Pioneer Institute. Proponents of a graduated income tax insisted on an escalation factor that will be punitive to many more Massachusetts taxpayers than they claim. If the measure had been tied to the median household income, it would have better protected taxpayers from bracket creep. - Greg Sullivan

Study says Massachusetts millionaires tax wouldn t just hit the mega-rich

Study says Massachusetts millionaires tax wouldn t just hit the mega-rich Boston Herald (MA) Pioneer Institute says the so-called millionaires tax that s regularly discussed on Beacon Hill wouldn t just dip into the pockets of the wealthiest few, but would also nail middle-class people cashing out for retirement. Despite its purported goal of taxing only the uber-rich, the graduated income tax would fail to protect people of more modest means from overtaxation on one-time windfalls, wrote study authors Greg Sullivan and Andrew Mikula. It has the ability to push those with significant capital gains and valuable asset sales into higher tax brackets, punishing owners of retirement nest eggs and desirable real estate. In practice, these one-time millionaires, who cash in on a lifetime of work and sacrifice in anticipation of retirement, out-number those who consistently have seven-figure salaries or stock market windfalls.
