3% >>> 2.6%
So the middle class got to keep a higher % of their income and pay a drastically lower tax rate in general.
If Kamala wants to drop my tax rate even lower than 22%, I'll take it. Is that what she's proposing? I haven't seen that anywhere.
When looking at any stat, you can't just look at the total number. You have to look at %'s, ratio's, per capita, etc.

You make a fair point however as I said in my edited post (you are too quick for me) it's no secret that the ultra wealthy have ways to pay very little in taxes. Trump literally bragged about it and said it was smart and if you don't like it get the laws changed, which I totally agree with. However something is terribly wrong when a man like Donald Trump paid far less in taxes than you did. So I'm voting for the person who will fight to change that.
