Lastly, the tax burden on the super wealthy is the lowest and has been trending downward. That's why you are siting relative figures, as opposed to actual burden.


the top 1% are not the "super wealthy" and regardless of the relativity of "fair" 1% paying for 95% is not just unfair, its wrong.
it allows the 95% to be fiscally irresponsible until the country is run into the ground
