It was one of the biggest gaffes of the presidential campaign, but \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=3671669-NPR-Ipsos-Tax-Poll\">a new poll conducted by Ipsos for NPR\u003c/a> suggests that many Americans forgot it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way Romney characterized those who don't pay federal income taxes is what got him in trouble, but the figure was roughly true. The new poll, however, shows that a majority think that the share of Americans paying no federal income tax is far lower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll gave respondents four options — 39 percent said that only 11 percent of Americans pay zero or negative income tax, and 31 percent said that only 27 percent pay zero or negative income tax. Only 21 percent got it right — right now, around 45 percent pay no federal income tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, released the day before Americans' taxes are due, delved into what Americans know and what they believe is wrong with the U.S. tax code — and what they know is limited and at times contradictory. But this isn't just about pointing out what Americans know and don't know. Rather, there could be important policy implications for Americans' misperceptions about the tax system. For example, this question dovetails with questions about what people think the lowest-income Americans' tax rate \u003cem>should\u003c/em> be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Americans underestimate the share of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given four choices of how many Americans pay zero or negative federal income taxes (11, 27, 45, or 63 percent), fully 70 percent of poll respondents chose the options \u003cem>under \u003c/em>the correct answer, which was 45 percent. Some of these people simply have no taxable income, and others get money back as a result of refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit. (Of course, these people might pay other taxes, like payroll taxes, as well as whatever sales and property taxes their states impose.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode3]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Two-thirds of Americans believe lower-income people pay too much income tax (with heavy partisan differences — around 8-in-10 Democrats, 6-in-10 independents, and half of Republicans agreed with that statement). In addition, 60 percent of Americans believe taxes should be lowered for people making $49,000 or less (again, with Democrats and independents being somewhat more likely than Republicans to say those taxes should be lowered).\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode4]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Taking these two ideas together — that people (mistakenly) think very few of their fellow Americans pay zero federal income tax, and that a majority of Americans think low-income people pay too much in income tax — there are a couple of possible conclusions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is that if more Americans knew how many others do not end up paying federal income taxes, they would say tax rates should stay the same or even be raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then again, it's possible that Americans nevertheless would think their poorest fellow citizens do need more money, regardless of how the current tax code looks. That might mean they would advocate expanding the EITC or other tax breaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When it comes to taxes paid by the rich, things get complicated.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We posed the following statement to people as a true or false question: \"For the highest earners, the percent of federal income taxes they pay now is significantly higher than it was in 1980.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode1]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, there are multiple ways to interpret this question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If \"percent\" is taken as \"rate\" here, the answer is \"false.\" In 1980, the top marginal income tax rate was \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/historical-highest-marginal-income-tax-rates\">70 percent\u003c/a>. Today, it's 39.6 percent (something about half of Americans know, per our poll).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if \"percent\" is taken as \"share\" here, the answer is \"true.\" That is, the share of federal income tax revenue that the richest Americans pay \u003ca href=\"https://files.taxfoundation.org/legacy/docs/TF_FF491_Summary%20of%20the%20Latest%20Federal%20Income%20Tax%20Data%2C_2015%20Update.pdf\">has gone up since 1980\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How does that work? As the Tax Policy Center's Roberton Williams explained to NPR, the share of income going to the rich has climbed in a big way over the last few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how Americans think about this could affect what they think should happen to the top tax rates on the richest. In 1980, the top 10 percent brought in 32 percent of all adjusted gross income, according to the Tax Foundation. \u003ca href=\"https://files.taxfoundation.org/legacy/docs/TF_FF491_Summary%20of%20the%20Latest%20Federal%20Income%20Tax%20Data%2C_2015%20Update.pdf\">In 2013\u003c/a>, it was 46 percent. For example, many Americans also believe taxes should be raised on the richest. The top tax bracket starts at \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/2017-tax-brackets/\">$418,400\u003c/a> right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll shows that 70 percent of Americans believe taxes should be raised on people making $250,000 to just under $1 million, and that 75 percent believe they should be raised on people making $1 million or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's already a sizable majority, but depending on whether people knew tax rates on the richest had indeed fallen (or, alternately, that the rich now pay a higher share in taxes), it could change what they think should happen to those marginal rates. (Of course, it's also possible that historical rates wouldn't affect their views at all.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those views differ widely by party; Democrats are much more likely to believe that taxes should be raised on the rich than Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans also appear to have strong views on how people earn their money. We asked people to what degree they agreed with this statement: \"The tax rate on income from work should be lower than the tax rate on income from wealth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode2]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Across the board, regardless of party, Americans agreed — 75 percent said they did, including 77 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of independents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is another result that might make the richest Americans squirm. The rich tend to earn their income in a different way from most other Americans. Besides paychecks, many make money from \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-are-capital-gains-taxed\">capital gains\u003c/a> — income they get from selling investments like stocks. Most of those capital gains are taxed at a rate far below that top income tax rate. (People at any income level of course can have those kinds of investments, but capital gains are \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7280309/the-rich-are-getting-richer-but-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-their\">overwhelmingly concentrated\u003c/a> at the top of the income spectrum.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top rate that the highest-income Americans will pay on most capital gains is 20 percent, around half the top marginal rate for ordinary income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Americans overestimate how important income taxes are to government revenue\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About half of the poll's respondents (with very little variance by party) said they believe 75 percent of the federal government's revenue comes from personal income taxes.

It was one of the biggest gaffes of the presidential campaign, but \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=3671669-NPR-Ipsos-Tax-Poll\">a new poll conducted by Ipsos for NPR\u003c/a> suggests that many Americans forgot it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way Romney characterized those who don't pay federal income taxes is what got him in trouble, but the figure was roughly true. The new poll, however, shows that a majority think that the share of Americans paying no federal income tax is far lower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll gave respondents four options — 39 percent said that only 11 percent of Americans pay zero or negative income tax, and 31 percent said that only 27 percent pay zero or negative income tax. Only 21 percent got it right — right now, around 45 percent pay no federal income tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, released the day before Americans' taxes are due, delved into what Americans know and what they believe is wrong with the U.S. tax code — and what they know is limited and at times contradictory. But this isn't just about pointing out what Americans know and don't know. Rather, there could be important policy implications for Americans' misperceptions about the tax system.

Some of these people simply have no taxable income, and others get money back as a result of refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit.

The support is 4 percentage points lower than in a poll conducted by the same organization last month, while the opposition has grown by the same amount.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Divided-Occupy-Oakland-revisits-City-Hall-3979663.php\">Divided Occupy Oakland revisits City Hall\u003c/a> (SF Chronicle)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For a few moments last fall, West Oakland businessman Chris Hollis was filled with idealism as he attended Occupy Oakland's first gathering outside City Hall to protest an economic system he felt benefited the few to the detriment of the many. But within minutes, amid a mix of families and students, Hollis witnessed some participants stray from the focus on Wall Street and hurl vitriol at police.

From then on, retailers no longer will be allowed to put customers' purchases into plastic carryout bags.

Apple surprised fans by unveiling a revamped, full-size iPad, just seven months after releasing the third-generation iPad. The new, full-sized tablet was overshadowed by the star of the event -- the iPad Mini -- but not overlooked by owners of what had been the most up-to-date iPad.
