Original Note:
The image includes a misstated figure of 3% rather than the Whitehouse’s own calculation of 8.2%. The 8.2% figure counts unrealized gains on the theoretical market value of assets. Billionaires do often benefit from unrealized gains, and loopholes like basis step-up exist. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/02/bidens-tax-rate-comparison-for-billionaires-and-schoolteachers/
