Your source doesn't address the amount of tax collected from the ultra wealthy in relative proportion to their wealth. It only addresses the amount as a percentage of the federal budget.
- sgjohnson 4y agoDo you seriously think that the ultra wealthy have ever paid the 90% tax rate?
- naasking 4y agoThe point is that the source you cited to claim they didn't doesn't actually prove that, so what reason do us random HNers have to believe you over the initial claim that the higher tax rate in the past actually addressed this problem?
