    My post is not about effective tax rate but the percentage of all federal income taxes paid by each income group by quintile.

    But, you are also wrong about tax rate.

    Bottom 20%: 1.5% (average federal tax rate)
    Second 20%: 9.2%
    Third 20%: 14.0%
    Fourth 20%: 17.9%
    Top 20%: 26.7%
    Top 1%: 33.3%

    No, it’s no such thing.

    It’s a kegal option that the president can use when Democrat mayors and governors will not protect their cutizens.

    Get a clue and cease with defending anarchy.

    You can't tax people based on discretionary income.

    I can have 0 discretionary income but choose to use my non-discretionary income to buy very expensive cars, clothes, apartment.....

    My governor will if the Democrat mayor does not protect our citizens.

    Democrats like Fingers Biden have no clue as to protecting citizens. Democrats will not protect citizens in their cities from the anarchists.

    That troll/ sock hasn’t been right about anything since he started posting.

    He probably pays no taxes.

    Well, you can and you should do that. It is the most efficient taxation system.

    Trump is the problem. No governor wants Trump to send in active military.

    No, the anarchists are the problem and responsible governors who want to protect their citizens will call for the military when needed.
    It is their duty to protect their citizens.

    You must be nuts to blame the president.

    Those who loot, burn, riot and shoot policeman are responsible.
