In 2018 the top 50% wage earners pay 97%, bottom 50% pay 3%. The top 1% paid 40% of taxes, top 10% paid 72% and bottom 90% paid 28% of taxes?

Is that just federal income tax, or does it include the regressive Social Security and sales taxes?

I assume these are good statistics; I believe they are.  The propaganda the left is spewing about the rich paying their "fair share" of taxes, is just that - propaganda.  The left buys votes with their "give away programs" from the bottom 50% with our tax dollars.  The funny thing is, these power brokers are mostly in the top 3%, but present themselves as advocates for the poor man.  It is all a power grab.

Now do the other part.
How much of the total wealth do each of those groups hold?



Hint: the top 1% owns closer to 40% than 1% of it.

I agree that the rich need to pay their fare share. 
It is not fair that they (1%) only pay 40% of all taxes and the bottom 50% only pay 3%. 
Why are we making them pay 3% of the cost to run this country.
We need more Free stuff Woohoo!!!!
