The claim that a person making a million a year pays less than educators in our current economy is not just misleading, but patently false. The average teacher making 50,000/yr pays $5,710 in Federal income taxes. Anyone making over 647K pays 37% - significantly more. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf
