Our taxes are regressive, not progressive.

The bottom 60% of households possess 4% of the nation's wealth but earn 27% of the income which means they're paying way more than their fair share.

Taxes should be flat and based on wealth. If you have 90% of the nation's wealth you should pay 90% of the nation's taxes. Nice and flat, nice and fair.

But we're nowhere near that today. Our tax system is regressive.
