Richer people don’t pay more taxes. If you have $200b by the time you are 50 years old you have somehow acquired $4b a year post tax. To acquire $400,000 a year - one ten thousandth of that - you would have to pay about 300k a year in tax, or about $15m, before you even spent a penny. Have Musk and Bezos paid $150b in tax over their lifetime?
