Yes. They come straight from US Congressional Budget Office. These are government published numbers:

US Federal Tax Revenues (2019): $3.5 Trillion

US Capital Gains (2018): $170 Billion (4.8%)

US Corporate Taxes: 3.9% of US Tax Revenues

> US Federal Tax Revenues (2019)

> US Capital Gains (2018)
