Wrong. Many pay NOTHING under the Trump tax cuts. Btw it’s a bogus way of looking at it. Top 10% have 90% of the wealth. They should be paying 90% of the taxes. They don’t. Plus, federal taxes are on payroll tax. Wealthy people don’t all receive a payroll. They are paid in stock options and deductibles and avoid payroll taxes altogether.

That’s ignorant.
Many of the bottom 50% pay a higher percent of their salary for taxes then the rich.
The rich get paid by “interest, dividends, capital gains or rent, from investments, known as capital income.Sep 20, 2021” they avoid federal income taxes altogether as well as state where the payroll earner pays it all.
And the rich can avoid payroll taxes altogether. The lower 50% still,pay all the other taxes everyone does including sales, property, state income etc. It’s only the fed that gives them a break and only because they would be destitute if they didn’t.

Look here for the IRS Data Book (Publication 55B), with links to prior IRS Data Books. The tables shown in these publications contain statistics for IRS collections and refunds, as well as number of returns. There's also information on examination activities, taxpayer assistance, chief counsel...

Trump gross Federal tax revenue from 2018-2021 was $14.6 Trillion versus Obama's $6.98 Trillion or nearly 109% increase over Obama's revenue from 2014-2017... and the reason is that ANY increases or decreases in federal revenue is FUTURE effect, i.e. Obama's budget and tax policies in 2016 would affect Trump's 2017 so any 2017 revenue is from Obama. So to would Trump's EFFECT be from 2018 (Trump's Tax policies) to 2021. AND remember look at the federal revenue for 2020... total shutdown of the economy!
So please tell me again how bad Trump was especially with the Tax Repatriation that brought $1 Trillion back that paid taxes on that $1 Trillion and then the offshore money went to work in stock buybacks, new facilities, new hires... everything that caused the tax revenue to increase 109% over Obama!

Pay nothing ?
You are ignorant. The bottom 50% still pay state and local taxes. You keep saying they pay no taxes. You’re the ignorant one . Most states have flat rates and not progressives tax rates. They pay property direct or indirect, sales, and state income taxes. They would all be in poverty if forced to pay as much as high income payroll taxes do. You aren’t that bright. Anyone earning $50k cannot afford to,pay the same rates as someone earning $400 k. That’s idiotic.

So, you don’t believe the sun has gravitational energy ?
The Treasury is a cabinet position of the admistration, part of the federal Govt .
It pays all the bills accumulated by the Fed.
The interest rates are controlled by a board of the Fed. That controls the money supply.
You’re out of your mind making up shit.
You said they don’t pay taxes fool. They do. Local, state and federal taxes are all payed by the same people. Just because poorer people get a break in their federal taxes, doesn’t mean they don’t pay taxes idiot. A decrease in federal taxation means an increase in local and state taxes. Always has been. So poorer people get hit real hard every time there is a tax cut for wealthy people. The Fed then cuts funding to states which increases local state and federal taxes. Poor people always get nailed when the rich get bigger tax breaks
