Public Data Explorer. Top Marginal Tax Rates 1916-2010. Green line is the top marginal rate for married couples filing jointly (most years dividends were tax like ordinary income until 2003), orange is the top rate for income from capital gains. The top corporate tax rate is included for comparison. Your marginal tax rate is the rate you pay on the "last dollar" you earn; but when you view the taxes you paid as a percentage of your income, your effective tax rate is less than your marginal rate, especially after you take into account the deductions and exemptions, i.e. income that is not subject to any tax.
Over the years, changing the amount of taxes people pay was accomplished not just by changing rates but by changing the income limits of the tax brackets. Just looking at the top rates does not give the whole picture about who is paying taxes. Before the 1986 tax reform, the income tax had 15 brackets.

America's Economic Myths - David Saied. "The Olympian gods" Nicolas-André Monsiau (1754–1837) Mainstream economists and so-called experts have filled the minds of most Americans with many economic myths that are constantly reinforced by the media and repeated on the streets. These myths are erroneous at best, sometimes based on half truths. The majority of them are just false. We read and hear them every day: "inflation" is caused by rising oil prices; consumption is the most important element for economic growth; low interest rates are helpful to the economy; government expenditures help "stimulate" the economy; there is an energy "crisis," and many others. We will examine the most common ones and proceed to explain the reality behind these myths. Inflation and Energy Myths Inflation — or, rather, the general rise in prices[1] —and the increase in energy prices are issues that have always created numerous economic myths.The following are some of the most common ones.

You must express the amounts you report on your U.S. tax return in U.S. dollars. Therefore, you must translate foreign currency into U.S. dollars if you receive income or pay expenses in a foreign currency. The only exception relates to some qualified business units (QBUs), which are generally allowed to use the currency of a foreign country. Note: Payments of U.S. tax must be remitted to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in U.S. dollars. The Internal Revenue Service has no official exchange rate. When valuing currency of a foreign country that uses multiple exchange rates, use the rate that applies to your specific facts and circumstances.
Note: The exchange rates referenced on this page do not apply when making payments of U.S. taxes to the IRS. For additional exchange rates, refer to Foreign Currency and Currency Exchange Rates. To convert from foreign currency to U.S. dollars, divide the foreign currency amount by the applicable yearly average exchange rate in the table below.
The Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window & Payment System Risk Website. SOMA and Liquidity Swaps, Jan 2010. System Open Market Account (SOMA) Recent Developments The SOMA portfolio has continued to expand, although the pace of Federal Reserve purchases of securities under the large-scale asset purchase programs (LSAPs) has slowed compared to its pace last year. As of December 30, 2009, the Federal Reserve held about $160 billion in agency debt and $908 billion in agency-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) under the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC's) LSAPs. Background Open market operations (OMOs)--the purchase and sale of securities in the open market by a central bank--are a key tool used by the Federal Reserve in the implementation of monetary policy.
Historically, the Federal Reserve has used OMOs to adjust the supply of reserve balances so as to keep the federal funds rate around the target federal funds rate established by the FOMC. OMOs can be divided into two types: permanent and temporary. Table 2. Liquidity Swaps Table 3. Dollar Liquidity Swaps Return to top. CLBS Report, System Open Market Account, January 2011. Domestic SOMA Portfolio Recent Developments The SOMA portfolio increased between November 24 and December 29, 2010. This development is consistent with the FOMC's announcement of its intention to expand its holdings of Treasury securities in the SOMA portfolio by $600 billion by the end of the second quarter of this year.
The FRBNY published on January 12, 2011, information on prices paid for securities included in the mid-December 2010 and mid-January 2011 outright Treasury operations. The FRBNY also released the new outright Treasury operation schedule and announced plans to purchase approximately $112 billion in Treasury securities, which represents $80 billion of the announced $600 billion purchase program and $32 billion in purchases associated with principal payments from agency debt and agency MBS, expected to be received between mid-January and mid-February 2011.
