The bottom 30% pay almost nothing in federal taxes. Shameful.

Poor people should pay more taxes? Because they aren't poor enough yet I guess. They also pay plenty of taxes, they just don't pay federal income tax because they don't make much money. They pay FICA, state taxes, sales taxes, and many other taxes.

The top 1% own more wealth that the bottom 90%.

Quick googling seems to be saying it's closer to 40% but not sure if they're talking about the same numbers

The people voting 31%+ actually know facts while the people voting <10% are just living in their self-indulgent fairy land where socialism is the magical elixir to all that ails us.

the 1% don’t make much from just their income. they already have too much wealth in the banks and make tons from capital gains. they should pay more.

I voted 10% simply because the rich will mostly be paying taxes via capital gains taxes and as far as I can tell, capital gains tax is not technically an income tax. Of course, it behaves in much the same way.

Complicated answer. The top 1% of earners likely paid at least 25% of FIT, but that doesn't account for capital gains taxes, property taxes, or sales taxes collected by their businesses. My guess is that the 1% earners generate more than half of the Fed's yearly tax revenue.
