So, let me cut to the chase here, since 1% of the people make 42.7

the federal budget, etc.

They do. Those roads, public utilities, parks, state budgets, federal
budgets are paid mostly by income taxes, excise taxes, use taxes,
gasoline taxes and some special use taxes. Are you under the impression
that wealthy folks don't have to pay those?

And, since 50.3 percent of the people get half of the financial wealth,
they should be paying over half the costs of all these government
costs. And, they should be damn anxious to pay them, after all, that
is
the system which is allowing their financial wealth.

Hmmmm, you do realize, one hopes, that their financial wealth is one of
the things that provides for worker bees....like employment, pay,
benefits, etc..
