You're utterly wrong. The wealthiest 0.001% paid 17.6% of their income in taxes in 2012[1]. That's not "very little" So you say I'm wrong and you say it's not

So you say I'm wrong and you say it's not very little and in the middle of both sentences you say that richest people pay less than 20%. WOW!!!
To put it in perspective, in some european countries the nominal rate for the highest income is about 40%, approaching 50%.
