Barack Obama again looked into the pockets of the rich Americans. Next week, the US president, in his annual message to Congress, proposed raising taxes on the wealthiest citizens, reports Bloomberg.
Fiscal reform will affect those whose annual income is above half a million dollars. Now they are paying at the rate of at least 24%. Obama is going to raise it to 28%. And it will be the second increase of his government. Six years ago, this tax was 15%, that is, the president of the United States, in fact, it will double. There will also be raised inheritance tax. Proceeds from the reform, estimated the White House for 10 years would be $ 320 billion. Of this money, Washington will pay to subsidize higher education and pay benefits for the care of children. Bloomberg notes that Congress probably will reform hostility. Republicans traditionally see in Obama’s fiscal plans blow to business.
