Talk:Marginal tax rate

A summary from various sources, references listed. I'd like a 2nd opinion to check for errors or omissions (or "OK"). LadyGeek 19:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks fine to me. I like the google:define touch also. It might be a good idea to add one these to all glossary entries. Blbarnitz 21:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * What are you referring to when you say, "a flat tax has a marginal rate of zero"? A flat rate tax has a constant marginal rate, not zero; a tax with a marginal rate of zero is a fixed-amount tax, such as a tax of $100 on every house rather than a percentage of the value of the house.Grabiner 04:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * David, I went ahead and substituted your wording. I think we've nailed it. Blbarnitz 09:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * David, Barry - That's why I asked for a review. My bad. I took the last sentence of the Wikipedia section for Marginal and removed the word "poll" from "poll tax". Original wording was "A flat rate poll tax has a marginal rate of zero,...". I didn't realize this was an error. The house tax example above clearly explains what I did wrong and is now on the main page. LadyGeek 19:34, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
