ELDER: A taxing issue for America's wealthiest and most powerful
If the rich are so powerful and supposedly manipulate public policy for their benefit, then why are their taxes so high?, asks Larry Elder.

Create Account Several years ago, at a party, I met a woman who loudly railed against 'the rich,' whom she insisted 'paid no taxes.' I asked, 'What percentage of U.S. federal income taxes do you think is paid by the top 1%, those earning about $350,000 or more?' She said, 'Probably barely nothing. Maybe 1% or 2%.' The answer at the time is that the top 1%, while earning about 20% of the nation's income, paid 40% of the U.S federal income taxes. Her ignorance is common, particularly among Democrats, who chant that 'the rich must pay their fair share' or 'the rich don't pay their fair share.' In 2008, Investor's Business Daily commissioned a poll asking what people thought the top 1% paid as a percentage of federal income taxes. Thirty-six per cent said 10% or less; 15% said 10% to 20%; and 10% said 20% to 30%. Just 12% knew the rich paid 40% or more. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Today, the percentage paid by the top 1% is even higher. In December 2024, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation wrote: 'According to the latest IRS data, the top 1% of earners paid 40.4% of all federal income taxes in 2022. … The other half of earners, those with incomes below $46,637, collectively paid 2.3% of all income taxes in 2021.' A 2024 poll by the Tax Foundation found that one-third of Democrats thought the top 1% 'pay only 1% of all income taxes.' For decades, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has insisted that 'the rich' make the rules, call the shots and run the country. In 2018, he said, 'We live in a nation owned and controlled by a small number of multi-billionaires whose greed, incredible greed, insatiable greed, is having an unbelievably negative impact on the fabric of our entire country.' On his recent 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour, he made the same argument. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Question: Why have these greedy millionaires and billionaires failed to apply their 'greed, incredible greed, insatiable greed' to prevent an increasing percentage of their income from being taken away from the government in taxes? The rich can no longer even deduct their state and local taxes from their income. In November 2024, Smart Asset wrote: 'The state and local tax (SALT) deduction allows taxpayers of high-tax states to deduct local tax payments on their federal tax returns. The tax plan signed by President Donald Trump in 2017, called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, instituted a cap on the SALT deduction. Starting with the 2018 tax year, the maximum SALT deduction became $10,000. There was previously no limit. This has left some high-income filers with higher tax bills.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. During the 2008 presidential campaign, then-Sen. Barack Obama promised to raise the capital gains rate on the wealthy despite evidence that doing so would generate less revenue. At the Democrat primary debate, moderator Charlie Gibson of ABC News asked Obama: 'Bill Clinton in 1997 signed legislation that dropped the capital gains tax to 20%. And George Bush has taken it down to 15%. And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28%, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?' Obama's answer? '(T)o make sure … that our tax system is fair.' After he became president, Obama raised the capital gains tax rate. The rich could not stop him. For a group that supposedly wields so much power, 'the rich' sure have lost a lot of battles on the federal income tax rate, on the capital gains rate and on the deduction of state and local taxes. As for the alleged grip Sanders believes the rich maintain over politicians to whom they give money, Willie Brown, the former long-time and powerful Speaker of the California Assembly, said, 'Any politician that can't take people's money and then turn around and screw them doesn't belong in the business.'

Graham Stephan Says This Investment Has Become the ‘Ultimate Money Printer' — Here's Why
An 'ultimate money printer' sounds very desirable in these times — or in any time, really. To combat financial friction due to heightened tariffs on goods and the declining value of the U.S. dollar, personal finance guru Graham Stephan said many investors are turning to one thing. Read Next: Find Out: Read on to find out what that investment is and why Stephan said it continues to generate income — especially in hard financial times. In a recent YouTube video, Stephan said that gold is the one investment that consistently does well historically. As of May 9, gold is at about $3,337 per ounce and is up nearly 27% over the past six months. J.P. Morgan has projected gold will hit $4,000 in 2026, Reuters reported. And according to Stephan, some analysts have predicted that gold could reach $5,000 an ounce. Explore More: Stephan pointed out in his video that the reason gold is something to invest in is because it holds its value well. He explained that since the U.S. went off the gold standard, the value of the U.S. dollar has gone down, but the price of gold has increased. Stephan explained that gold is something that makes money even in times of financial turmoil. 'Even though the stock market has become the default wealth builder, anytime inflation runs high or global uncertainty increases, the price of gold continues to jump higher because it's seen as a hedge against a falling dollar,' he said. Stephan explained that although the stock market has delivered higher returns, gold has still seen a strong annualized return. Plus, it remains stable and 'makes a lot of money' during times of economic unrest, he said. 'Generally speaking, the worse our economy does, the better gold is going to do,' Stephan explained in the video. He went on to say that gold is basically a way for consumers to hedge their bets against financial fear. So in times of economic uncertainty, more people are going to invest in gold to ensure some financial stability. According to Investor's Business Daily, the price of gold has been increasing now due to a number of factors, like inflation, a weakening dollar, and economic and political uncertainty. However, Stephan doesn't think it's worth diverting all investments into gold. He explained that typically, the higher the price of gold goes, stocks become a better value. 'I don't see gold as a replacement for long-term investing or something to 'YOLO' all of your money into, but rather a way to diversify part of your portfolio to give you something else to fall back on,' he said. He emphasized the importance of diversification, noting that an allocation to gold 'wouldn't hurt.'

3 Reasons To Keep an Eye on Apple's Stock, According to Experts
Apple (AAPL) is one of the biggest companies in the world, with a stock that many investors would love to own if they don't already. But where is the stock price of this tech giant going? Citi analyst Atif Malik's appraisal of Apple's stock, as reported by Investor's Business Daily, suggested there are good things on the horizon for Apple with the iPhone software update, iOS 18.4, which provides support for Apple Intelligence in multiple languages. Read Next: Learn More: However, due to economic disruption happening around the globe, it's anyone's guess whether Apple's stock will fall again with the rest of the market or whether it's set to push higher. No matter which way it heads, here are three reasons to keep an eye on Apple stock. Also see how to pick the next Apple stock, according to Warren Buffett. 'It is true that the Apple Intelligence rollout has been less than perfect and the company has taken a back seat in the AI conversation to date,' said Jason Moser, senior investment analyst at The Motley Fool. He noted, however, that it's also important to remember that Apple's strategy isn't about being first. 'To be sure, CEO Tim Cook has said it many times, it's not about being first, it's about being best,' Moser said. And some think Apple Intelligence could prove beneficial for the stock. Angelo Zino, a senior research analyst with CFRA Research, said Apple Intelligence could enable strong demand for the iPhone 17, as reported by Insider Monkey. Explore More: Moser highlighted that after a strong year of earnings where shares outperformed the S&P 500, Apple has had a tough go of things in 2025 as tariff talks have kept investors in uncertain territory. 'However, it's worth remembering the strengths of the business thanks to its massive installed hardware base, to the tune of over 2.35 billion active devices,' Moser explained. 'In its most recent quarter, the company also hit an all-time revenue record in its Services business with almost $100 billion in revenue from Services alone.' 'Tariffs are a big wild card for Apple right now, there's no debating that,' Moser said. 'But Apple is also making real progress in diversifying its supply chain with heavy investments in India. This move, in conjunction with Indian conglomerate Tata is taking the business in a new direction and it's estimated that India will contribute more than 20% of global iPhone output in 2025.' Alejandro Zambrano, chief market analyst at ThinkMarkets, explained how the tariffs on China could make it difficult for Apple to serve its largest market, the U.S. Moreover, if no deal can be found with Europe, its second-biggest market, it is likely the European Union could place Apple in its crosshairs, according to Zambrano.'This has still not been priced in and could deliver another strong hit to Apple,' Zambrano said. 'In China, their third biggest consumer market, which brings in 15% to 25% of their revenue, there is likely to be a boycott on American products.' The reason for the bearish outlook, according to Zambrano, is that the markets know exactly what happened to the U.S. and world economy the last time tariffs were this high. 'So the key to knowing when to buy Apple will rest squarely on someone's ability to predict Trump's next move,' Zambrano explained. 'Signs of him backing down, or nearing a deal with China and the EU, are key to timing a good entry in the stock.'
