Opinion: Think the rich don’t pay their ‘fair share’? Think again | CNN "According to the IRS, in 2020, the top 1% of taxpayers (about 1.5 million taxpayers), paid $722 billion in income taxes. That amount accounted for 42.3% of all income taxes paid, the highest percentage in modern history. By contrast, the bottom 90% of taxpayers (about 142 million taxpayers) paid a combined $450 billion in income taxes, or just 26.3% of the total, their lowest percentage of the tax burden in decades. That means the top 1% of taxpayers pay a far greater share of the nation’s tax burden than 142 million of their neighbors combined." In contrast how much taxes does a person on welfare, food stamps and in public housing pay? How much do they "take" from other taxpayers without contributing anything? The "rich" are not the problem - they not only pay the largest percentage of taxes but also build the bulk of job creation, manufacturing and drive the train of economic opportunity in our country.
It's got to be tough on liberals when liberal media Outlets Point out data contrary to preconceived notions.
