Original Note:
The tweet cites that high-wealth individuals pay a lower tax *rate,* not that they pay less in overall quantifiable tax, which the proposed note (incorrectly) seeks to fact-check. High-wealth individuals do pay a lower rate. No note needed. 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/
