The top 1% paid about 37% of income taxes. They also own over 38% of the wealth and 'took home 85% of income growth between 2009 and 2013. In 15 states, the top 1% captured all income growth during the same four-year period'. Based on this I would argue that they are in no way being taken advantage of and that income disparity is a very real problem that is only getting worse. This also does not include payroll taxes which are almost always paid by the middle and lower class while only sometimes by the wealthy as they are able to leverage their wealth to generate income. https://www.businessinsider.com/top-one-percent-every-us-state-2016-11#-2 https://www.businessinsider.com/top-one-percent-every-us-sta...
