Original Note:
This compares accumulated wealth to the taxes paid on annual income. It's apples to oranges. There's VERY valid arguments against the unequal accumulation of wealth in society, and whether we should have a wealth tax, but income tax is a separate issue. This is misleading. https://www.businessinsider.com/difference-between-wealth-net-worth-income-2019-1 https://www.cbpp.org/research/poverty-and-inequality/a-guide-to-statistics-on-historical-trends-in-income-inequality https://www.britannica.com/topic/distribution-of-wealth-and-income
