The top 20% pay 88.1% of all federal taxes, but the top 1% saw 100% of the income gains over the last 40 years.
So it would seem that the top 1% should pay 100% of all federal taxes since they took 100% of the income gains.
So if you want to have a debate about "fairness", let's do it. I'm down. Let's boogie.
A. You say it's unfair to raise taxes on the wealthy because they already pay most of the taxes.
B. I say it's fair to raise taxes on the wealthy because they have taken 100% of the income gains.
So one of those two positions has more heft to it than the other. One of those two positions is objectively more fair than the other. Which one do you think that is?
