Build Recurring Income

In 2006 the top 2% paid 60% of all income taxes but earned only 30% of the income.

Shouldn't we lower their tax rate to make it more fair?

I am a trustee of a complex trust as well as the primary beneficiary.
All income is distributed to the primary beneficiary annually.

I received a payment from the trust for reimbursement expenses and for payment of my time as trustee.
Is any or all of this taxable income to me?
Can the trust give me a gift up to $13,000 annually?
Is the reimbursement treated differently than the compensation for services?
Does it need to show on the K1?

Can the trust give a secondary beneficiary a gift without issuing a K1 to the secondary beneficiary?

Thank you. If you have any IRS sources that would be helpful.

Any ideas to save on income tax before one has to start making withdrawals from IRA?
I thought one way would be if you're 67 years old and you know you will have major medical expenses in these next 2 years, should you withdraw some out of your IRA since you will be able to deduct the medical expenses from your taxes? Otherwise, if you wait till 70 1/2, then you will not have the deduction benefit.
Any other ways to save income tax when you start making IRA withdrawals?

If you add up all the taxes you pay now, Fed. Income tax, FICA, Social Security, State tax, City tax, Local tax, Property tax, Sales tax, Gas tax, etc., already most of your income goes toward paying taxes.

What percentage will be too much. Will you work when every penny you earn goes to pay your taxes or will you just say to hell with it all?

A and B are partners. at the beginning of the current year, A's capital account is $30000, and B's is $50000. A and B decided to allocate income with 10% interest on capital balances at the beginning of the period and divide the balance equally. Net income for the current year is $80000. Each partner withdrew $150000 for personal use during the year. What is the amount of income that will be allocated to each partner?

I don't want my rent going up and down all the time and child support based on my income as it is not the same each month. How do you report income that may be there one week but not the next and so on?
