If the tax code allows them to pay nearly nothing how is it they pay
40%?
Facts are dependent on who interprets them. However, if they own 90%
of all the wealth, and pay less than 1% of their income in taxes,
(while the working poor pay 100% after subsistence)---then, houston,
you have a problem
Well, the poor, (I'm one of them) pay no income tax, so therefore the money
that keeps things running comes from somewhere.
I recall hearing something about 44,000 folks in NYC that pay over 50% of the
taxes there.
