The most basic NIT can be described by two variables: the guaranteed annual income and the marginal tax rate. Suppose the guaranteed annual income is $8000 and the marginal tax rate on every dollar earned is 35 percent. With this NIT, after-tax income is given by After-tax income = 8000 + (1 – 0.35) X (Earned income) a. On a scale diagram with after-tax income on the vertical axis and earned income on the horizontal axis, draw the NIT relationship between earned income and after-tax income. b. What is the level of income at which taxes paid on earned income exactly equal the guaranteed annual income? c. The average tax rate is equal to total net taxes paid divided by earned income.

One difference, though, was that a far larger proportion of male residents experienced direct representation in theirlegislatures, rather than the "virtual representation" that most Britons experienced inEngland and Scotland. Why? 1.Because elections for office in the colonial legislatures were done by secretballot. 2.Because ownership of enough property to meet the property requirements forvoting was more common in the colonies than it was in Britain. 3.Because the colonists thought slavery, in both the political sense and actualslavery, was more wrong than did their British counterparts. 4.Because only enslaved people were prevented from having voting rights in the colonies.arrow_forward
- Given the recent push and pull between state and federal power, what do you think this means for representation and democracy? Are we being more or less represented in this era of devolved federalism? Do you think democracy is doomed as traditional norms are eroded? What about the trend toward state's reducing rights of marginalized/minority groups? Or will an increase in state power ultimately be a good thing?arrow_forwardIf their only concern were the cost of issuing municipal debt, how would you expect the mayors of most U.S. cities to respond to a revenue-neutral change in the federal income tax that sharply lowered the top marginal tax rate?arrow_forwardWhat is the meaning of "As it stands today we have too many lawyers in government — many of whom are very smart and decent people — but they are not immune from acting like lawyers. Consequently, we have far too much regulatory legislation. Also, what do many lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win by hook or by crook; it doesn’t matter how you fight as long as you win. Imagine a roomful of Democratic and Republican lawyers, each with one overriding goal to win, and this certainly helps one understand the distasteful partisan politics that characterizes Congress today."— Ben Carsonarrow_forward

In the recent impeachment of President Donald Trump, what were the impeachment offenses charged by the House of Representatives? What was the result in the Senate regarding the aforementioned charges? What is your opinion?arrow_forward1. Recall the regulation model where legislators apply regulations to garner votes. Votes are a function of producer utility (UR ) and consumer utility (UC ). The legislator’s vote/utility function is V = V(UR , UC ). If U R = R, and U C = K – R – L, where K is a constant and R and L are the typical monopoly versus competitive market outcome below. Obviously, both U R and U C are affected by the eventual price (P) set by the legislator because both R and L are affected by that price. (a) Now suppose the demand equation is given by P = 100 - Q , and MC = $20. Write R as a function of the price and show that the price that maximizes producer utility is $60. (b) Given the MC and demand equation above, find the maximum possible consumer surplus (hint: this will be when the market is competitive). (c) Now suppose that (in addition to the information in parts d and e), the legislator gets votes according to V (U R, U C ) = 3U R + U C . Find the price that maximizes the legislator’s votes.arrow_forward
