>>The 23 million households making up the richest 20% already pay about 69% of total taxes; the nearly 12 million households constituting the top 10% of income earners already pay about 55% of all federal taxes.<<

for context, the richest 20% of americans own more than 69% of the wealth and the top 10% income earners own more than 55% of the wealth.

iow, according to their wealth, they under pay taxes.
