Description
“The most important book on government policy that I’ve read in a long time.” —David Leonhardt, New York Times
Even as they have become fabulously wealthy, the ultra-rich have seen their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice presents a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation, written by two economists who have revolutionized the study of inequality. Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman offer a comprehensive view of America’s tax system alongside a visionary, democratic, and practical reinvention of taxes.

Not factual

1By Nick - the CPAI have been a practicing CPA for over 21 years. I read this book thinking it would be an independent opinion on the US tax system. I was curious as to be aware of how others perceive taxes. The charts and statistics are useless. They are bent in a way to make the authors own opinions seem factual. For example, you state early in the book that labor pays 15% employment tax - they do not, they pay half of that that the corporation that you deem terrible pays the other half. This is basic taxes & you simply stated 15% to make your socialist views seems factual. Also - you clearly don’t understand how the S-Corps work & the taxation of such. Nonetheless, this books is simply silly, one sided, misleading which makes it a false read.
