Original Note:
The proposed comments miss two key points which are explained in the links. First, while direct income is taxed at 25%, many wealthy folks don't get paid by salary. Second, while gains on bank accounts are taxable unrealized gains on stocks are not, which gives 8%, not 3%. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/13/joe-biden/joe-bidens-dubious-math-federal-income-tax-burden/
