For Thriller, Zombie, Fison and the rest of the progressives

How many rich white folks are not paying their share of taxes though? Does that matter in the discussion or do we only care about poor mexicans paying taxes?

That’s a great take, I wonder what Fison has to say about all this though. I’ve never seen a post of his?

I'm guessing this will be disputed, but since it was just in the news this week....

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/americ...s-pay-a-lower-tax-rate-than-the-middle-class/

• The 400 richest U.S. families now pay a lower overall tax rate than the middle-class, the first time that's happened in 100 years, according to economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman.
• Factoring in federal, state and local taxes, those ultra-wealthy households pay a total rate of about 23% — that compares with just over 24% for the bottom half of households.
  
• The U.S. now "looks like the tax system of a plutocracy," Saez and Zucman say.

I saw this on TV the other day.
In 1960 the 400 richest families paid something like 53% total tax rate. In 1987 they paid like 43% total tax rate.
Now it's 23%. And on top of that the gap between those ultra rich and everyone else is bigger than ever.
Such BS.

No one looking at the reported numbers will dispute any of it.
