In the US federal taxes look like this:

The top 1 percent’s share of federal income taxes paid rose from 38.8 percent to 42.3 percent in 2023.

The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent.

I do believe that is taxing the rich



The top 50% of taxpayers control 97.6% of the wealth.


Yep, and they pay lots of taxes. Actually a staggeringly close percentage When You See It side by side
