Comparing the income tax rate of billionaires to that of firefighters and teachers is misleading. Everyone is taxed at the same rate for their income level. Billionaires have other sources of financing, so they can minimize their earned income. Most also pay other taxes. https://taxfoundation.org/2023-tax-brackets/ https://www.heritage.org/taxes/commentary/1-chart-how-much-the-rich-pay-taxes
