This is highschool math. Lets say you someone earning 70k and someone else 30k. Even with a flat tax rate of 10% the 70k earner pays 70% of the tax.

- djrogers 8y agoYour numbers are overly simplistic and do not reflect reality even closely - we don’t have a flat tax, and the article clearly shows that the top 3% earn about 25% of the income and pay about half of the income tax. Throwing out completely made up figures when the correct ones are available doesn’t help much.
