Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of: death and taxes. Many people feel that the United States has the worst taxes in the world.
Taxes are the money that people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal, state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.
Salaried people who can earn more than four to five thousand dollars per year must pay a certain part. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has a two-level income tax, that is, 15 or 28 percent. $17,850 is the cut-off. The tax rate is 15 percent below $17,850 and 28 percent above.
The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, or any of the other forty-eight states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which people buy in the state. Some states use income tax and sales tax to raise their revenues (= annual income).
The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise tax, which is collected on vehicles in a city. The cities use this money for education, police, public works, etc.
Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often say that the government misuses their tax dollars. They all believe that taxes are too high in this country.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. How much money does an American earning $40,000 per year pay to the federal government as income tax according to the passage?
34. What happens to buyers when a sales tax is collected?
35. What tax does an American have to pay to the city if he owns a car?
选项
A、$5,000
B、$6,000
C、11200
D、17850
答案
C

短文中提到美国收税的三级政府:联邦政府,州政府,市政府。其中联邦税收主要是个人所得税,每年收入超过17,850美元的美国人,纳税率为28%,每年收入低于17,850美元的美国人,纳税率为15%,所以说,每年收入为40,000美元的人的纳税费为:40,000x28%=11,200(美元),故答案为[C]。
