> Before you ask, I do think that they should be paying more rather than less. Maybe the 99% should have more wealth and income so that they could pay more taxes instead? The mantra about wealth and income being about merit/hard work/etc, is partially true. A lot of wealth and income has to do with laws/privileges/etc. The 1% paying more in taxes really means that they'd taken more of the wealth/income. So I don't think that's the solution.
