Original Note:
The claim that billionaires "pay a lower tax rate than working class Americans" relies on an idiosyncratic definition that includes unrealized capital gains (& only for some taxpayers) while leaving out other indirect taxes. By the usual definition, the claim is false. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/02/bidens-tax-rate-comparison-for-billionaires-and-schoolteachers/
