The top income earners pay a huge percentage of total taxes. That might be exactly how one thinks it should be, but it’s absurd to talk about “the rich need to start pulling their share”. They pay a much, much higher share. Higher now, in fact, than in decades past.. how does that mix with the complaining about “tax cuts for the rich”?

They pay a higher share because they earn a higher share of all income.
