Original Note:
Most taxes are paid by the middle class. According to a 2021 White House study, the wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the US paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2%. Since 2020 the richest 1 percent have captured almost two-thirds of all new wealth. https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/stories/do-the-rich-pay-their-fair-share/ https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/09/16/examining-claims-against-aoc-tax-the-rich-dress-met-gala/8350769002/
