Original Note:
The implication that billionaires are paying a lower tax rate than teachers or firefighters relies on conflating real income (predominantly in the form of wages), and asset appreciation. Such asset appreciation is already taxable under current tax law upon realization. https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2021/09/23/new-omb-cea-report-billionaires-pay-an-average-federal-individual-income-tax-rate-of-just-8-2/
