This can be misleading because it doesn't account for wealth concentration. When you realize HOW MUCH of the wealth the 1% control, 37% seems small.

That doesn't make the statement misleading. We tax income. The middle class doesn't pay the majority of taxes.

You may think there should be a wealth tax but the statement isn't misleading. The prior statement was inaccurate.
