Good. About time some of these people paid their fair share instead of exploiting loopholes that they can access because they have so much wealth.

  The top 10% pay over 80% of the federal taxes in the US. This, combined with one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world means they are already paying more than their "fair share".

    If they own more than 80% of wealth then paying over 80% of the taxes is exactly fair.

      Wealth != Income
    • bobby_9x 11y ago
      Exactly my point. Taxes don't need to be raised.

    If that's true, then it almost exactly matches the percentage of wealth they control.

    The top 10% also controls 80% of the wealth.
