What people like angry leftist lady don't understand is the "the rich" pay the overwhelming share of taxes.I see you think that Government really is the owner of your earnings, as opposed to you earning them. And if one is rich, that person is evil and must have his wealth removed. That is not America.
Who pays the most income tax? | USAFacts
Individual income taxes made up 49% of federal revenue in FY 2023.

Most of the government’s federal income tax revenue comes from the nation’s top income earners. In 2021, the top 5% of earners — people with incomes $252,840 and above — collectively paid over $1.4 trillion in income taxes, or about 66% of the national total. If you include the top 10% — everyone who made at least $169,800 — that figure rises to $1.7 trillion, or 76% of the total.
