Income growth and share .. facts about the “1%”

By simplicitylabs February 26, 2020

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) regularly publishes analyses of the distribution of federal taxes and household income.  The most recent release provides extensive data on both taxation and household income for the years 1979 – 2009.  The three graphs below display:

  • Increase in after tax income
  • Change in share of after tax income
  • Change in share: total federal taxes vs. after tax income 

In all three cases, the data is demarcated by quintiles, 81st – 90th percentiles, 91st – 95th percentiles, 96th – 99th percentiles and top 1%.

As the historical record shows, households at the highest income levels far outpaced all other categories in income growth.  The top 1% experienced a 155% increase in after tax income over the period 1979 – 2009.

Here again, as the historical record shows, households at the highest income levels all increased their share of after tax income. All quintiles but the highest experienced a reduction in share. The top 1% experienced a 55% increase in their share after tax income over the period 1979 – 2009.

In contrast to the vast majority of households, High earners experienced a growing share of total federal taxes .. at the same time, their share of after tax income substantially increased  over the period 1979 – 2009 in comparison to the vast majority of Americans.

In Table 1, the CBO Report shows that average total effective tax rates ( income taxes, as well as payroll taxes, taxes on investments and other taxes), have fallen over the past 30 years for all groups. So they are paying less tax on each dollar they earn. For the wealthy households, rates have fallen more slowly; by 14% for the top quintile and 18% for the top 1% high earners. At the same time, the third graph above shows that these two high earner households paid an increased share of all federal taxes (not just income taxes) between 1979 and 2009; a 23% increase for the top quintile and 57% for the top 1%. So the high earners are paying a greater share of federal taxes than they used to. But also at the same, incomes have increased far more quickly for these folks .. 73% for the top quintile and 155% for the top 1%. And, in marked contrast to to bottom 80% .. who lost considerable income share .. the wealthy increased their share. Thus, as the data shows, the wealthy are paying a greater share of federal taxes even though they are paying less tax on each dollar earned .. due to the fact that they are making far more dollars than they used to.

    First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if
    you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
    I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    ideas or hints? Kudos!

    Great article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has already been able to to fight terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, as well as first ever true global recession. Through it the industry has proven to be strong, resilient and dynamic, locating new methods to deal with misfortune. There are often fresh issues and opportunities to which the business must yet again adapt and respond.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or
    something to do with web browser compatibility but I
    figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the issue solved soon. Kudos

    GO!!!
    This phrase was said by the first cosmonaut on Earth – Yuri Gagarin. (Yuri Gagarin)
    He was the first astronaut on Earth. He was Russian! …
    Now Russia is becoming a strong country, gas pipelines, a vaccine against COVID-19, an army.
    Is this very reminiscent of the communist Soviet Union?
    How do you think?
    Now we have total control in our country. I am interested in the opinion of foreigners.

    I think that what you posted made a lot of sense.
    But, think about this, what if you were to create a awesome title?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid., however what if you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Income growth and share ..
    facts about the "1%" | Simplicitylabs is kinda
    boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they write news titles
    to get people to click. You might add a related video
    or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve written. In my
    opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

    Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using
    for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve
    had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another
    platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

    Many thanks!
