And people wonder why a tax cut affects rich people more...
"The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent)."
The top 1% of Americans control more than 40% of all the wealth in the country. Sounds like their taxes are too low.
The bottom 90% of Americans control less than 14% of total wealth. Sounds like their taxes are massively too high.
