全球著名投资者，有“股神”之称的巴菲特本周披露了他去年的总收入，这是他为敦促美国国会提高针对富裕人群的税收而采取的另一项措施。据巴菲特公布的数据，他去年的总收入约为6286万美元。 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. 周二在写给共和党议员的信里，巴菲特透露去年一年他的总收入是62,855,038美元，而应纳税收入为39,814,784美元。巴菲特表示他的总收入里15300美元为工资税。 Buffett also said his federal income tax bill came to $6,923,494, or 17.4% of his taxable income. 巴菲特还说他缴的联邦所得税达到了6923494美元，是他应纳税收入的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. 联邦所得税缴税比例只占应交税收入的17.4%是因为他大部分的收入是来自于投资收入，投资收入征税力度比工资收入要低，另一个原因是因为工资税只对达到106,800美元的工资进行收税。 "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. |
