巴菲特自曝年收入6286萬美元 敦促美國提高富人稅收

全球著名投資者，有“股神”之稱的巴菲特本週披露了他去年的總收入，這是他爲敦促美國國會提高針對富裕人羣的稅收而採取的另一項措施。據巴菲特公佈的數據，他去年的總收入約爲6286萬美元。

In a letter to Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp Tuesday, Buffett revealed that his adjusted gross income last year was $62,855,038 and that his taxable income was $39,814,784. Buffett said he paid $15,300 in payroll taxes.
週二在寫給共和黨議員的信裏，巴菲特透露去年一年他的總收入是62,855,038美元，而應納稅收入爲39,814,784美元。巴菲特表示他的總收入裏15300美元爲工資稅。

Buffett also said his federal income tax bill came to $6,923,494, or 17.4% of his taxable income.
巴菲特還說他繳的聯邦所得稅達到了6923494美元，是他應納稅收入的17.4%。

Two key reasons he only paid 17.4%, however, is because a lot of his income came from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate than wages, and because payroll taxes are assessed only on the first $106,800 of wages.
聯邦所得稅繳稅比例只佔應交稅收入的17.4%是因爲他大部分的收入是來自於投資收入，投資收入徵稅力度比工資收入要低，另一個原因是因爲工資稅只對達到106,800美元的工資進行收稅。

"People who make Money with money are getting taxed at a far lower rate than people who make money by their own labor," Buffett told CNNMoney.
“以錢生錢的人需要繳納的稅費比真正用勞動來賺錢的人要低得多。”巴菲特對CNNMoney說。

"If you could get other ultra-rich Americans to publish their returns along with mine, that would be very useful to the tax dialogue and intelligent reform," Buffett wrote.
“如果你能讓其他美國富豪和我一樣公佈收益的話，我相信會對稅收對話和改革起着相當積極的作用，”巴菲特在信中寫到。
