Is the point of the article to demonstrate that the tax system is unfair to the rich? If that's the point to be made, they're only looking at the most progressive part of the tax system. Add in payroll, property, state income, unemployment, and sales taxes, and the picture looks quite different.
- refurb 8y agoActually it doesn’t look that different. Yes, the top incomes earners might pay 60% of income, but they still pay 50% of all taxes.
