Remember that the chart only deals with income, not the net wealth of tax filers. It's probably harder to get reliable statistics on call Californians' net wealth, but I bet that would be a much more interesting graph. (I am not suggesting a California wealth tax.)
- oldmanjay 11y agoWould it be interesting mainly for how much rationalization of envy it would provoke? I can't imagine what else could be drawn from it.
- JauntTrooper 11y agoThere'd be a lot of overlap, but it would also highlight the very wealthy that pay low taxes (likely landowners and retirees) and high earners with few assets that pay high taxes - the top 5% to 0.5% - that are often politically vocal and frustrated at their relative tax burden and the difficulty they face to accumulate wealth despite high income.
