Ok little interesting math
Source
they save 93 million americans are "working class"
Ok much income tax did the government get TOTAL?
ok 2 trillion and some change, quite a bit.
Ok and how many tax returns did they get?
Ok stick with me, this is the part they obfuscate hard but its still just basic logic but will feel complex. Keep the number of "working class" in your mind
HALF the country is paying his insanely low 3.7% but the very next tier up becomes 15.9%
THERE IS A 10% DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN THE 51ST PERCENTILE AND THE 99TH
BUT SOMEHOW A 12.2% DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN THE 49TH AND THE 51ST PERCENTILE?

So this creates this wild K shaped economy where the bottom half is to poor to pay and taxes and the super rich are getting away without paying any so the whole of the tax burden is falling on "working class" middle America
this is part of how rich people get away with making the poors look like they pay no taxes and that they pay WAY TO MUCH
what that little blurb leaves out is the 40% of the people paying 1.2 TRILLION in taxes
the lionshare comes from the hard working white people, not those that put the coon into business Tycoon
Just thought this was worth sharing, our tax system is a joke
