They...aren’t. It’s true that that group, the 92nd-98th percentile by income in the US, are bearing a somewhat heavier burden than they probably ought to in order to support the illusion of tax progressivity while hyperrich capitalists skate by relatively untaxed, but that’s very much not “getting hosed”, especially compared to the at-least-equally hardworking people much lower on the economic scale
