50% of the population do not pay US income tax, but they pay payroll taxes, govt fees and excise taxes , imputed taxes and sales taxes , etc and end up with a significant tax burden on their puny incomes. Roughly equivalent percentage wise with the very wealthy, except for a very few really, really poor people.
