Tax Rate for the Rich

The top wealth Americans pay betweeon 0.1% and 3% tax rate on income. Their growth in wealth is 10x of their income. [1]

Why do average americans support lower taxes for the rich? Because they think the rich deserve it [2]: 'we find strong support for fairness-based explanations'. Fairness-based explanations are this [3].

But 61% of the people think the rich don't pay a fair share. [4].

Income tax brackets for the USA in general: this tells us little, because the super-rich do not pay the 37%. Who does? [5]
