> the wealthy contribute such a disproportionate amount to the US treasury. Overall US taxes (from all sources) are approximately flat taxes, if considered relative to wealth, as you seem to be doing. The wealthy contribute roughly the same share of their wealth to the treasury as the less wealthy do. The 90th-percentile-and-above of richest Americans own about 75% of the country's assets in aggregate, and pay about 75% of the country's taxes in aggregate. |
