Portfolio managers may be called investment managers, wealth managers, asset managers or financial advisors, but a true portfolio manager position is focused on the analytical side of investing rather than the sales aspect. Job Description
The New York Times reported on April 8, 2009, that the average American paid 20.7 percent of all her income in federal taxes. This did not include state and local taxes. The highest 20 percent of income earners paid almost 26 percent of their income in personal federal income taxes, while making almost 56 percent of all income. The top 1 percent of Americans received a full fifth of all American income while paying 28 percent of their income in federal taxes.
In 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 towards the food stamps program. That's just ten cents a day! That's less than the cost of a gumball.But Republicans think that's still too high a price to pay to help the neediest and most vulnerable Americans. And when it comes to funding the rest of America's social safety net programs, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 a year pays just over six dollars a year.he Tax Foundation has found that the special tax provisions of corporations cost taxpayers over $100 billion per year, or roughly $870 per family. But in reality, that number is much higher.
