Marginal Rate of Transformation

Economists use a marginal rate of transformation to analyze trade-offs and make informed decisions. MRT is linked to the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF), which depicts the potential output of two goods. Increasing the production of one good requires decreasing the production of the other. This occurs when a bundle of x and y touches the PPF.

"Right-wing billionaires hoped an obscure legal case would blow up the tax code to avoid paying what they owe, but this effort failed," said the Democratic senator after the Moore v. United States decision.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was among the economic justice advocates cheering Thursday after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a tax on Americans with shares of certain foreign corporations—a win for the Massachusetts Democrat and other wealth tax advocates.

"Right-wing billionaires hoped an obscure legal case would blow up the tax code to avoid paying what they owe, but this effort failed at the Supreme Court," Warren said in response to the 7-2 ruling in Moore v. United States. "The fight goes on to tax the rich, pass a wealth tax on ultra-millionaires and billionaires, and make the system more fair."

Although the narrow decision doesn't explicitly affirm the constitutionality of federal wealth tax proposals from congressional progressives including Warren, court watchers had feared a ruling in favor of Charles and Kathleen Moore—a Washington couple who challenged the mandatory repatriation tax (MRT) in Republicans' 2017 tax law—would disrupt efforts to impose such policies.

The high court heard the case in December. Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday delivered the majority opinion that the MRT "does not exceed Congress' constitutional authority." He was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberals. Justice Amy Coney Barrett concurred in the judgment, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, who had faced calls to sit this case out.

Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas—who has provoked pressure to recuse himself from multiple cases or even leave the court by accepting and not reporting gifts from ultrarich Republicans—dissented, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch. Thomas argued "the Moores are correct" that "a tax on unrealized investment gains is not a tax on 'incomes' within the meaning of the 16th Amendment, and it therefore cannot be imposed 'without apportionment among the several states.'"

The Roosevelt Institute and Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) warned in a September report that a decision siding with the Moores could have led nearly 400 multinational corporations to collectively receive more than $270 billion in tax relief.

"Today's ruling is a win for anyone who didn't shelter income in offshore tax havens before 2018," ITEP executive director Amy Hanauer said Thursday. "It preserves close to $300 billion of tax revenue paid by some of the biggest and most profitable corporations in human history."

"If the court had retroactively repealed this one-time tax, any other way of making up the resulting shortfall would have fallen far more heavily on middle-and-low-income families and small businesses," she added. "The Supreme Court also could have taken an activist turn of the worst kind by preemptively ruling federal wealth taxes unconstitutional today. To its credit, the court did not do so."

Groundwork Collaborative executive director Lindsay Owens similarly called the ruling "great news," adding that "next year, there is nothing standing in Congress' way to make the wealthy pay up."

Meanwhile, Morris Pearl, chair of the Patriotic Millionaires and a former managing director at BlackRock, had a more mixed response, saying that "we are relieved that the Supreme Court chose not to overreach in its Moore v. U.S. decision. The plaintiffs' patently absurd argument, based on incorrect and seemingly fabricated facts, threatened to upend the tax code and preemptively declare taxes on wealth and unrealized capital gains unconstitutional. The court chose not to do so."

"But we remain deeply alarmed for two reasons. First, it is now evident that four Supreme Court justices are enthralled by the influence of billionaires. In their concurring opinion, Justices Barrett and Alito asserted that unrealized capital gains cannot be taxed, as did Thomas and Gorsuch in their dissent, which said there is a realization requirement for income tax," Pearl said. "These justices have now signaled their intention to declare taxes on wealth and unrealized capital gains unconstitutional."

"Second, the Supreme Court should never have agreed to hear this case in the first place," he continued. "Billionaires are shamelessly buying influence on the Court. While seven Justices rejected this specific attempt by plutocrats to avoid their patriotic duty, this does not change the fact that several members of the Supreme Court have corrupt relationships with billionaire benefactors looking to purchase outcomes on the court."

This post has been updated with comment from the Patriotic Millionaires.

This week, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Moore v. United States, a case that centers on the mandatory repatriation tax (MRT). The MRT was enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and required corporations to a pay a one-time tax on deferred foreign profits. These are profits that were earned by foreign subsidiaries of American businesses, but not returned home and therefore not yet subjected to U.S. taxation.

The plaintiffs, Charles and Kathleen Moore, argue that a ruling in their favor would ensure Congress could never impose a wealth tax. Many on the right oppose such a tax, most famously proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and thus organizations like Americans for Tax Reform, the Cato Institute, FreedomWorks, and the Manhattan Institute have filed amicus briefs in support of the plaintiffs. In reality, the case has little to do with such a tax.

Rather, a ruling in favor of the Moores risks upending key elements of the current federal income tax and wreaking havoc on parts of the U.S. economy. As we detail with additional colleagues in an amicus brief in support of the respondent, the federal government, the Court should rule against the Moores and affirm the lower court ruling.

The Moores, shareholders in a manufacturing business based in India, were subject to the MRT on the business’s profits that had not yet been distributed to shareholders. The MRT rate is 15.5 percent if such profits were held in liquid assets such as cash or 8 percent if such profits were illiquid (invested in a factory abroad, for example). The TCJA allows taxpayers to pay the MRT in installments over eight years. The Moores’ MRT liability was approximately $15,000.

At enactment, the MTR was estimated to raise $338.8 billion and was used, in part, to finance the transition to a new system of taxing foreign profits of U.S. multinational corporations. To give a sense of the magnitude involved here: the entire TCJA was estimated to reduce revenue by $1.456 trillion, or just about four times the amount involved here.

Prior to the TCJA, the United States had a “worldwide” corporate income tax with deferred taxation of foreign profits. This meant that profits earned in a foreign country by U.S.-based multinational corporations first faced that jurisdiction’s corporate income tax. If and when those profits were repatriated to the United States, they were subject to additional taxation: the U.S. corporate tax minus a tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid. Because the U.S. corporate tax rate was among the highest in the world (35 percent), any foreign tax credit was almost never sufficient to fully offset additional U.S. tax.

This system created several perverse incentives. Corporations could avoid the additional U.S. tax by holding foreign profits overseas, which led to a significant accumulation of overseas profits. Prior to the TCJA, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that there were more than $3 trillion in retained foreign profits. The system also encouraged corporations to shift profits, mobile assets, and their headquarters overseas as strategies to minimize their tax liability.

The TCJA addressed these issues by moving to a “quasi-territorial” system. Under this system, U.S. corporations no longer face an additional U.S. tax when they repatriate earnings. At the same time, the TCJA enacted a minimum tax, without deferral, on foreign profits as a backstop. U.S. corporations now either pay a low-rate U.S. tax immediately on their foreign profits or not at all.

For foreign profits that were earned under the previous system but had yet to face U.S. tax, lawmakers decided that it would be an unfair windfall to completely excuse them from U.S. taxation. These profits had, after all, been earned with the expectation that they would eventually be subject to U.S. tax. And it would have been too complex to require corporations to track two stocks of profits for years or decades: pre-TCJA profits that would face tax when repatriated and post-TCJA profits that face no tax. It was far simpler and fairer to immediately wipe the slate clean with a one-time low tax on all existing unrepatriated profits.

The Moores disagree. They argue that the MRT is “an unapportioned direct tax in violation of the Constitution’s apportionment requirements.” There is an exception to this requirement: the 16th Amendment, which authorizes income taxation without apportionment among the states. But that amendment, they argue, only applies to taxes on realized income, while the MRT taxes unrealized income.

There is, however, no reason to think the MRT is unconstitutional. In fact, the Court need not even consider whether the 16th Amendment applies only to realized income for the simple reason that the MRT is not a direct tax. As an indirect tax, the MRT does not need to be apportioned among the states.

Court precedent clearly does not support the argument that a tax on foreign commerce is a direct tax. Historical sources are clear that all direct taxes are internal. In addition, the MRT is not a direct tax because it is a tax on the use of a certain business entity. Indeed, the Court cited similar grounds when, prior to the adoption of the 16th Amendment, it upheld the corporate income tax as an indirect tax.

Leaving aside any question of constitutionality, a ruling in favor of the Moores risks upending key elements of the income tax. A constitutional requirement that income be realized in order to be subject to tax would increase economic distortions, create policy uncertainty, and reduce federal revenue.

A realization requirement is undesirable because a realization-based tax system is economically incoherent. Economists generally favor one of two coherent tax bases: income or consumption. A realization-based income tax is neither. As a result, it creates economic distortions, such as an incentive to hold on to assets that have gone up in value, as well as unfairness, as equally well-off individuals are taxed differently based on when they buy and sell, and opportunities to avoid paying tax altogether.

A realization requirement would also introduce significant economic uncertainty by calling into question numerous provisions of the income tax that currently deviate from the realization principle. For example, partners in Subchapter K partnerships are taxed on their share of business profits whether or not those profits are distributed. This provision and many more could be subject to years of litigation. During this time, businesses could delay or forgo important investments.

A ruling in favor of the Moores could also put important pro-growth tax policy at risk. The current income tax system deviates from the realization principle by providing depreciation deductions. These provisions allow businesses to deduct the value of an asset prior to its disposal. Under a strict realization requirement, a taxpayer would need to wait until they sold or otherwise disposed of a fixed asset to deduct its cost, similar to how a corporate stock is treated under current law. Many proponents of pro-growth tax reform advocate for the immediate write-off (expensing) of some or all of the cost of these assets as an effective means of lowering the marginal effective tax rate on new investment. In fact, a key provision of the TCJA significantly strengthened this policy. A strict realization rule would risk upending this policy and would raise the effective tax burden on new investment.

A Moore victory could also reintroduce many of the problems with the taxation of multinational corporations that the TCJA sought to address. A realization requirement could undo elements known as Subpart F and GILTI, or global intangible low-taxed income, which tax foreign profits of U.S. multinational corporations without realization. Without these backstops, corporations would have a much greater incentive to shift profits and intellectual property into low-tax jurisdictions.

Besides introducing new economic distortions, a realization requirement could threaten a significant amount of federal revenue. The direct effect of a ruling would be a loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue due to invalidation of the MRT. On top of that, the federal government also risks losing much more depending on the breadth of the ruling. Economist Eric Toder at the Tax Policy Center estimates that the federal government could lose more than $87 billion in 2024 and more than $124 billion by 2028 and every year thereafter. Congress may respond to this lost revenue by enacting taxes that are even more distortionary or by incurring even larger, and less sustainable, budget deficits.

Economists have long understood that whether or not income is realized, it is still income. Nevertheless, it is reasonable and prudent for administrative and other reasons for Congress to distinguish between realized and unrealized income in some situations. For example, measuring income from the appreciation of certain closely held businesses or other illiquid assets is difficult and Congress has reasonably decided not to subject those gains to tax until they are realized. On the other hand, the current tax treatment of partnerships is appropriate to avoid obvious tax avoidance: Such taxpayers could otherwise park their income in their business to avoid tax. It could also be reasonable for Congress to design a system to tax unrealized gains that are easy to measure, such as those that arise from the appreciation of publicly traded assets.

Finally, there is an additional, and somewhat peculiar, aspect to this case. The Moores and several amici argue that the realization requirement they believe is inherent to the 16th Amendment means that a wealth tax, unless apportioned, would also be unconstitutional. It appears as if this logic has served to motivate much of the support behind them.

While we agree that any plausible wealth tax would likely be unconstitutional, there are obvious problems with the Moores’ claim that the MRT is nothing like a wealth tax. A wealth tax applies to the full value of an asset each year. As such, it would not matter whether an asset appreciates or not: A taxpayer would be subject to tax as long as the asset had positive value. In contrast, the MRT applies to earnings and profits of a foreign enterprise, not the value of the foreign enterprise. If the Moores’ foreign business earned no profit or if prior profits had already been repatriated, they would have owed no additional tax.

Given the risks and economic shortcomings of a realization requirement, the Supreme Court should not enshrine it in the Constitution. Instead, Congress should be free to decide whether and how to tax unrealized income.

CTS B - Week 3

Connecting Practice with Society

In today’s class, we covered the concept of connecting artistic and design practice to society, using Sep Verboom as an example. Quote ‘I asked myself, if I would want to spend all my life and career in a design office or a factory doing things for aesthetics and sales’ prompted me to think critically about my own potential as a designer to contribute to social causes. Verboom’s works showed how design can influence a positive change by engaging with the needs and well being of people which expanded my knowledge of a ‘socially engaged practice’, of one that creates awareness. 

My group created a video skit inspired by silent films to raise awareness about giving seats to the elderly on public transport, to demonstrate how artists can address social behaviours through creative expression. The exercise helped me understand how art tools can be used to influence behaviours and mindsets, additionally, I felt like the video could have been approached differently by including interviews of people on their thoughts to create a deeper empathy and care for the elderly. A practice of this reflected in real life is the ‘gracious commuting’ campaign designed with different characters that helps remind us of good practices in a public setting. Such as ‘stand up stacey’ which aligns with our topic of giving up seats to those in need.

The lesson reinforced the importance of consciousness — being aware and keeping up to avoid risk of designs being superficial or disconnected from people we aim to help. Moving forward, I want to embed more care, understanding of cultural, social and economic conditions into my practice ensuring it resonates and contributes to society.

Dholera Smart City in Gujarat: A New Era for Urbanization in India By City Expert

India has taken a step into this ambitious endeavor by the very much talked about Smart Cities initiative in an attempt to put this very ambitious dream onto the development map of the country, courtesy of the flagship initiative of Dholera Smart City, whose name alone speaks of providing a new turn to the face of urban development in the country. The project will come up near Ahmedabad in Gujarat, about 100 kilometers from the city.Dholera would not be just a smart city, but a global industrial city that would promote speeding up economic development not only in Gujarat but for the whole of the Indian sub-continent.

A Concept of Vision

Dholera Smart City would also form one of the biggest infrastructure projects ever undertaken-the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, where a 1,500-km stretch between Delhi and Mumbai is going to be used for the construction of new industrial cities. Planned over a surface of more than 920 square kilometers, the smart city is designed with over two million citizens in the future. Strategically located, this city is close to sea ports, highways, and the proposed Dholera International Airport. Therefore, this place is sure to attract many industries and businesses.

The Dholera development plan is a concept of developing a smart city which will achieve efficient use of technology and data to further enhance delivery mechanisms of urban services and optimize resource utilization towards setting up of sustainable living environments. Therefore, it would be a city, either built on advance infrastructure which has smart grids and transport systems, water management and waste management systems, which makes the city energy efficient, green, and technologically advanced.

World-Class Infrastructure

Infrastructures of Dholera Smart City will serve the future. The city boasts of a strong transport network; however, it is its planned mass rapid transit system (MRTS) and Dholera International Airport that are yet to roll into action. These transport links will seamlessly connect with other major cities in Gujarat and India, thus increasing Dholera's role as an industrial and business hub.

One of the other future features that Dholera's infrastructure will have is the smart grids for power through a grid that would give constant and efficient power supply. The city will utilize renewable energy through solar power, with Dholera Solar Park right next door, touted to be one of the largest in India. Water resources management, too would follow this approach in regards to sustainability: Water harvesting systems more sophisticated structures are provided for rainwater harvesting, seawater desalination, and wastewater reclamation so that water supply is sufficient not only to the residents but to the industries as well.

Underground utility ducts in Dholera ensure proper protection for essential infrastructure, including power, water supply, and gas lines. The engineering design ensures easy access for maintenance. This aligns with the city's smart design philosophy, where sustainability and efficiency are adopted together.

Economic Opportunities

Dholera Smart City is building the infrastructure of the future while growing the economy. It is an investment destination for any part of the world under the plan of becoming the hub for large-scale industries. The government's business-friendly environment, along with incentives by the ports, highways, and airports, is making Dholera suitable for manufacturing, electronics, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy.

Thousands of employment opportunities will be created during the period of construction as well as when the industries start functioning in the smart city. The entire region will be transformed into an economic hub that shall provide employment opportunities to the residents of this region, thus augmenting the economy of Gujarat and even India.

Sustainability and Green Living

What is quite different about Dholera as compared to the other cities is that its slogan is going to be based on sustainability and green living.Dholera smart city in gujrat It has been considered important since inception that this city be designed in such a manner as to reduce the ecological footprint. With the handholds of renewable sources of energy, eco-friendly edifices, and smart resource management systems carrying the promise of eventually becoming carbon-neutral, Dholera will be developed.

The healthy and lively green areas of the Dholera region, parks, and open areas will be created. In respect to this need, the city planning allows for easy access to green areas for the residents of Dholera, with a balance between life at work, play, or rest. Dholera will, with sustainable urban development, be a model not only for other smart cities within India but also for other smart cities throughout the world.

Smart Technologies for a Better Life

Technologies would form the core of Dholera Smart City. The city would offer an integrated command and control center that would monitor and track such services in real time; it could be traffic, public safety, utilities, or waste. Such services would then be delivered more efficiently with the help of data analytics, sensors, and automation, thus settling prompt issues that may arise.

Besides that, smart services in the form of high-speed internet, app-based transport services, and smart governance would provide a smart platform that makes government services available to the citizens with ease. These will make life easier, more efficient, and connected at Dholera.

Conclusion

The future of India's urban development is Dholera Smart City. Dholera, therefore, would be a landmark example for the development of smart cities through visionary design, advancement of infrastructure, economic opportunities, and sustainability. This will, therefore, provide a reason for change in the region itself but will collectively be a reason for the overall economic development of Gujarat and India as a whole. In fact, it is a statement by the project regarding India's capability to take the lead for the design of smart, sustainable, and future-proof cities for the world.

### **15. Tourism Development**

Thaksin's policies supported the growth of Thailand's tourism industry, which became a significant contributor to the economy. His administration promoted Thailand as a global tourist destination, leading to an increase in international arrivals and revenue.

### **16. Debt Moratorium for Farmers**

One of Thaksin's popular policies was a debt moratorium for farmers, which provided them with a three-year grace period on loan repayments. This policy was aimed at easing the financial burden on farmers and preventing land losses due to debt.

### **17. Social Welfare Expansion**

Thaksin expanded various social welfare programs, including pension schemes and support for low-income families. These programs helped improve living standards and reduce inequality in Thailand.

### **18. Energy Sector Reform**

Thaksin's administration worked on energy sector reforms, including efforts to increase energy security through investments in alternative energy sources and improvements in energy infrastructure.

### **19. Anti-Drug Campaign**

Although controversial due to allegations of human rights abuses, Thaksin's war on drugs was part of his broader social order campaign. The campaign aimed to reduce crime and improve social stability, which had economic benefits.

### **20. Anti-Corruption Measures**

Thaksin's government took steps to combat corruption, including establishing the National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC). However, his administration itself faced numerous allegations of corruption.

### **21. Financial Sector Reform**

Thaksin's administration implemented reforms in the financial sector to strengthen regulation, increase transparency, and improve the efficiency of financial institutions. These measures helped stabilize the economy post-Asian financial crisis.

### **22. Housing Development**

Thaksin promoted affordable housing projects, particularly for low-income families. His government launched several housing schemes aimed at providing decent living conditions for the urban poor.

### **23. Public Transportation Expansion**

### **25. Investment in Agriculture**

Thaksin's administration invested in agricultural development, including irrigation projects, research and development in crop science, and subsidies for farmers. These efforts aimed to increase productivity and income in the agricultural sector.

### **Family's Continued Influence**

After Thaksin's ouster in 2006, his family, particularly his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, who became Prime Minister in 2011, continued to influence Thai politics. Yingluck's administration pursued similar populist policies, such as the rice-pledging scheme, which aimed to support farmers but faced criticism for its economic impact.

### **Legacy and Impact**

Thaksin's tenure left a lasting impact on Thailand's economy and infrastructure. While his policies were popular among rural and low-income Thais, they also polarized the country and led to significant political unrest, including his ouster in a military coup in 2006 and subsequent political crises. His legacy continues to shape Thai politics and economic policies.
