That is relatively uncontroversial. But their other finding is likely to raise a few eyebrows.They reckon that if the tax system were reformed to make evasion impossible, the toptax rate might be able to rise to as much as 83%that is, to levels last seen in the 1960swithout hurting the economy. This is because people do not seem greatly to adjust howmuch they work when tax rates change. Higher top rates may also discourage big earnersfrom spending too much of their time trying to bargain for a larger share of the overall pie.
前述相对来说争议不大。但他们的另一个研究结果可能会让人狐疑好一阵子。据这些专家估计,若改革后的税制要完全杜绝避税,税率上限可以调高至83%都不会阻碍经济发展,因为人们不大可能在税率变化后调整工作量。面对更高的税率,富人也不会再花大力气分一杯更大的羹。
Now all that remains is to remove the loopholes. On past experience, Americas rich need notlose sleep over that.
现在剩下要做的是堵住法律漏洞。从以往的 经验看,富人们无须失眠。
