As the wealth gap in the U.S. continues to widen, the top 1% of Americans are close to amassing more wealth than the entire middle class, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve, Bloomberg reports. Part of that growing divide is fueled by President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and his relentless drive for lower interest rates.
根据联邦储备局的最新数据，随着美国的贫富差距继续扩大，最上层的1%美国人积累的财富快要超过整个中产阶级了。导致差距扩大的部分原因是特朗普总统的减税政策以及不断推动降低利率
The top richest Americans had assets of about $35.4 trillion in the second quarter. That’s just short of the $36.9 trillion held by the tens of millions of Americans who make up the middle and upper-middle classes — the 50th to the 90th percentile — according to an analysis of the new data by Bloomberg.
根据彭博社的新数据分析，第二季度，最富有的那部分美国人拥有价值大约34.5%万亿美元的资产，距离为数上亿的美国中产阶层和中上阶层（第50个百分位至第90个百分位）所拥有的36.9万亿美元资产价值相差不远。
The wealthiest have benefited from a surging stock market and Trump administration tax reforms including such benefits as reductions on inheritance taxes.
最富有的人得益于激增的股市和特朗普政府的税制改革，包括降低遗产税
“In 2018, following the Trump tax reform, and for the first time in the last 100 years, billionaires have paid” a lower tax rate than “steel workers, school teachers and retirees,” the economists write in their new book “Triumph of Injustice.” The “wealthy have seen their taxes rolled back to rate last seen in the 1910s, then government was only a quarter of the size it is today.”
这两位经济学家在他们的新书《非正义的胜利》中写道，“2018年，在特朗普的税制改革之后，亿万富翁的纳税税率比钢铁工人、学校教师和退休人员“更低”，这种现象是过去100年来第一次出现。“富人们看到他们的税率回到了1910年代的档次，当时的政府只有今天的四分之一大小。”
As the “inequality spiral” continues, the economists have argued, the wealthiest have even more resources to further influence and skew the system to benefit them.
两位经济学家表示，由于“不公平的旋蜗”持续存在，最富的人拥有甚至更多资源，进一步影响和扭曲体制，从而使自己获益。

The thing is, Trumps borrowed-dollar ''tax cut'' had absolutely zero impact on the lives of the richest. It did not allow them to get a new car, or the car they wanted, did not make it so they could eat out once a month, did not make is so they could afford their kids'' college, did not allow them to take a vacation this year, did not allow them a larger apartment....they could do all of that already. It just gave them more money at their disposal they will literally never use. Give the lower Middle Class a tax cut, on the other hand, and you will see a dramatic impact on people''s'' lives, and it will show a huge difference.
问题是，特朗普借钱“降税”对那些富人的生活根本没有任何影响。这些钱不够让他们买一辆新车，我是说他们想要的那种车，不够让他们每个月在外面吃一顿，不够让他们的孩子读大学，不够让他们今年去渡个假，不够让他们买个更大的公寓……这些事情他们可能早就已经做了。这种降税只是给了他们一笔他们其实永远也用不着的可支配收入。不如给中低阶层降税，你会看到降税对人们的生活产生巨大影响，看到与现在截然不同的局面。

For you kids who do not realize that things our politicians did a few decades ago can still affect you today, wake up. This all started with Reaganomics. Trickle Down Economics worked as planned. The Flow of money from the top to the bottom, slowed to a Trickle.
In 1980 the average CEO made 40 times what his average employee made. Today they make 300 times more.
In 1980 CEO''s were paid Cash bonus they had to pay regular incomes taxes on that year. Today they are paid in various stock options that are taxed at lower rates over time.
Sure I blame Republicans for creating this huge income disparity, but over all the Democrats either voted for it, or benefited from it.
Middle Class America has seen our taxes rise the past 34 years faster than the upper class. The biggest tax liability for Middle Class people is becoming our Property Tax.
你们这些孩子不明白，我们的政客几十年前干的事今天仍然能影响你，醒醒吧。这一切都是从里根经济政策开始的。涓流经济政策按照他们计划的那样发展。财富从上层向底层的流动减速成了涓流。
1980年，CEO的平均收入是员工平均收入的40倍。现在他们的收入已经比员工多300多倍了。
我当然要怪共和党，他们制造了这种巨大的收入差距，但是民主党也为此投了票，或者也受益于这项政策。
我们中产阶级在过去34年看着自己纳的税增长得比上层阶级更快。对于中产阶级来说，我们的房产税正在成为我们的最大课税项目。

Do not forget the FICA tax as the wealthy only pay it up to the first $128,000. A person below that pays the full rate of 32% plus the 6.5% percent of FICA. A person that makes more than the $128,00 pays only 35% up to 37%. So a person makes less money but ends up paying a higher tax rate overall when the two are combined. This is not even counting that many wealthy have the ability to classify their earnings as capital gains which only is at a 25% tax rate
别忘了联邦社会保险税，富人只需要为12.8万美元的收入缴纳这项税。低于这个收入的人要全额缴纳32%的税，再加6.5%的联邦社会保险税，而收入高于12.8万美元的人只需付35% - 37%的税。所以总的来说，如果把两项税加起来，赚得少的人反而要付更高的税率。更别说很多富人能够把他们的收入划规为资本利得，资本利得税的税率只有25%。

The fact that Republicans support lowering the capital gains tax to a rate lower than the middle class ordinary income shows that Republicans care about the rich and don''t care the value of working hard for a living. Ordinary income is a tax on wages. Capital gains is a tax on passive income such as investments.
共和党支持把资本利得税的税率降到比中产阶级个人所得税更低，说明共和党人更在乎富人，不关心为生计而努力工作的人的价值。个人所得税是对工资征税，而资本利得税是对投资收益这样的被动收益征税。

Everytime the republican party changes the tax laws, the poor and middle class fall financially further behind. Decades ago you used to be able to deduct credit card interest, car loan interest and personal loan interest that banks charged you from your tax returns. The republican party took that away. At the same time cities, towns and states increased their fees, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, property taxes and school taxes to compensate for their lost revenue. Most Americans received a financial beating back then as they will again.
每次共和党修改税法，穷人和中产阶级在经济上都会被甩到更后面。几十年前你可以用退税抵消银行的信用卡利息、车贷利息和个人贷款利息。后来共和党把退税取消了。同时，为了弥补亏空，市、镇、州三级政府提高了收费、销售税、汽油税、房产税和教育税。大部分美国人在财务上都倒退了，正如现在，他们将再次倒退。

The rich get richer because the tax code is written for the rich. Do you ever hear the rich complaining about taxes? NO.
富人越来越富是因为税法是为他们而写的。你听说过富人抱怨税率吗？没有。
Jill
Hell yes we complain...37 percent tax rate is ridiculous. Add the additional ACA Medicare tax and it’s almost 40 percent. Who thinks that’s fair?
我去，是的，我们有抱怨....37%的税率太没道理了。加上平价医疗法案的额外医疗保险税就接近40%了。谁觉得这公平？

More of Trump''s winning. The 1% now has more net worth than the entire middle class. He succeeded in getting the middle class to elect him into office even though Trump has worked against their financial interest. They don''t understand what he did with the tax reform. The middle class got a few extra bucks in their check but the wealthy are rolling in dough. The wealthy got an amazing inheritance tax reduction
特朗普又赢了。那1%现在拥有的资产净值已经超过整个中产阶层了。他成功让中产阶级选他当上总统，即使他不利于他们的利益。他们不明白他在税制改革中做了什么。中产阶级的账单里又额外多了几块钱，而富人却在日进斗金。富人获得了非常棒的遗产税减税。

Picture painting. In 2018 the top 1% paid more in taxes than the bottom 95%...maybe they did pay a lower rate, but they still paid more than 95% of America combined
画个图，2018年最上层的1%交的税多于底层的95%，也许他们付的税率更低了，但是他们缴的税仍然比95%的美国人加起来还多。

You can make stats say anything !

Maybe if the employees made more money they would pay more of the share...
也许如果员工能赚更多钱，他们付税的比例会更高……
Joel
Maybe they should have paid more than 99% of America combined nitwit. Why do you support them - you part of the 1%? No, let me guess, you are a broke paychecker to paychecker or maybe have a couple of million and think you are well off.
也许他们付的税比99%的美国人加起来还多呢，傻X。你为什么支持他们。你是那1%的一员？不会，让我猜猜，你是个没钱的工薪族，又或者你有几百万，觉得自己很富。
Chris
You’re a 1% apologist. You will never be one of them.
你是那1%的辩护者。你永远也不会成为他们的一员。

@Gary I am in the top 1%, my wife & i made 800k in 2018. We paid 250k in taxes which is an effective tax rate of 33%, no one in the middle class came anyway near paying what i did in federal income taxes. They just don''t get it.
我属于那1%，我老婆和我2018年赚了80万。我们付了25万的税，有效纳税率为33%，不管怎么讲，中产阶级没有一个人交的个人所得税能接近我所交的。他们就是不明白。
Laura
They only paid a lower rate because of capital gains. Capital gains is money in the stock market, which is money for businesses, for jobs and for wages. Capital gains tax should be zero to encourage MORE investment in businesses, jobs and wages.
他们付更少的税率是因为资本利得税。资本利得是股市里的钱，那是企业用来经营的钱，用了创造工作机会和提供薪水的钱。资本利得税应该降为0，以激励更多钱投入到企业、工资和职业机会上。
Rob
Its not like these 1% have all this money laying around in an account collecting dust. All of that money is in the ecconomy being reinvested in company''s, growing and employing people.
这1%的人并不是把所有的钱都放在银行里发霉。那些钱都在社会经济中，被重新投给了公司，增加就业人口。

A lot of the have nots need to stop making poor life choices. Stop buying $1000 phones, buy a car/house that you can actually afford, and not the maximum that the bank says you can afford, stop eating out all the time, and the list goes on. Twenty years ago, the bank said I could afford 140k for a house. I bought a 90k house. The first new car that I had bought in 25 years was bought after the house was paid off. The house was paid off in 17 years, instead of 30. I didn''t bury myself in debt, whether it be car, house, or credit card. Now I''m enjoying life a bit more, and socking money away for retirement. The opportunity to become wealthy is there, but there are too many people who aren''t willing to work hard or make the right life choices to do so. Now that my largest debts are no more, I''m working towards wealth.
很多没钱的人需要停止穷人的生活方式了。不要买1000美元的手机了，购买你负担得起的汽车和房子，而不是银行说你最大程度可以负担的车子和房子，不要去外面吃饭了，省钱的方式数不胜数。二十年前，银行说我可以买一套14万的房子。我买了一套9万的。25年内我买的第一辆新车是房货还完之后。我的房货17年就还完了，而不是30年。不管是汽车、房子还是信用卡，都没有使我债务缠身。现在我能多享受一点生活了，目前正在存退休金。变富的机会就在那，但是太多人不愿意努力工作或选择正确的生活方式来让自己变富。现在我最大的债务已经还完了，正在向朝富裕前进。
