Top 10% richest people own 85% https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth

The richest people are not paying the “income tax” your link refers to. They often have trusts and things and do daily expenses from loans and other tricks.

Bezos and Musk, for example, paid $0 income tax https://americansfortaxfairness.org/wp-content/uploads/ProPu...

This link is only referring to income taxed, and I am only talking about income taxed. Your wealth comments are irrelevant to my point and to the data presented.
