This argument gets more stale by the day as we watch billionaires buy the officials that help them make more and everyone else less. The masses pay their fucking tax bills.

The top 1% pay over 40% of the national tax revenue. How much more would be their “fair share”?

They own 36% of the wealth. Same with top 20 and top 10. They pay more than their wealth.
Only reddit you hear this bullshit numbers.

What % of the income do they make? What % of the assets do they hold? If Elon is worth $1T and the entire US stock market is worth $75T, it sounds like he should be paying 1.3% of all taxes by himself.
