I don’t understand your point. The person you’re replying to made an argument by quoting factual numbers. Those numbers seem to have sources. Are you saying the numbers are wrong or that their argument has incorrect logic? If not, why does it matter whether the source is biased or rated some way (by whom)? Their information is from public government data, by the way.
“The 1% paid more in tax than the next 9% combined” is a great soundbite. Even completely accurate. Makes it sound like the 1% part their fair share, or rather, even more than (which is the Foundations goal)…
But then if you learn that that 1%s earnings are dozens of times more than that next 9%, you realize “hey, it’s not that proportional or progressive as they’d have us believe”.
The Tax Foundation openly wants the rich to pay less tax.
