There was an analysis of this in the news somewhere. In truth the highest income earners pay a large percentage of Federal Income tax, but they pay a disproportionately small percentage of other related taxes like FICA, so their actual total contribution is around 28%, not 40+.


yes but they also get less of Social Security as a ratio of income once they retire.
