The tax burden for the top 1% _income_ earners can totally increase while the tax burden for the top 1% wealthy decreases (they earn from dividends, not work)


It’s literally in the data link I posted.

The top 25% saw their tax burden increase, the bottom 75% decrease.


According to your link the share of Income of the bottom 75% also decreased. Than it is not surprising to see their tax burden decrease.

Also, the trend seems to be the other way around: Tax rates of the top households have continuously decreased.
