A lot of poor people pay literally no federal income tax. (Just over 40% of households pay no federal income tax.)

Sure, you still have people making a million dollars pay less in percentage income tax than people making $200k.

And people who make $200K and $1M/yr are both paying a higher rate than actual poor people.

Unless you're arguing that someone making $200K/yr is in the category of "poor" in which case it would pay to be explicit, because that's not going to be the most natural interpretation for most people.

Lol maybe but when I see rich people I definitely think more than $300k.
