A lower tax "rate" doesn't mean they paid less. The rich are paying more than their fair share, the poor are paying nothing
Wrong, again. My guess is you think federal income tax is the only tax.
https://itep.org/whopays/The nationwide average effective state and local tax rate is 11.4 percent for the lowest-income 20 percent of individuals and families.
No, I think he means that a millionaire that pays X percent in tax pays a lot more in actual dollars then someone with, say, a 40 000 dollar a year income does if he pays the same percentage.
Yeah he's trying to pull numbers in absolute unadjusted USD which should be a capital offense on this forum.
