      Yes…the average American pays ~40% of their income in taxes. The uber rich Americans pay much much less, if anything at all.

      The rich dont because for decades conservatives successfully convinced half the population that if we feed the rich some more oats, itll trickle down to the rest of us. Well guess what? The only thing that trickles down from an overfed horse is piss and horseshit.
