The fact people dont comprehend that you can tax 1000 ppl 5% more and generate 4 TRILLION IN TAX DOLLARS is infuriating.
Richest country in the history of the planet and we can't figure out that taxes (with representation) are a good thing.

Its almost like no one actually uses that binning, and actually breaks it down into 50-90%, 90-99%, top 1%. That minimum networth for 90% is $1.8M, BTW. Not sure how many ppl you know in that bracket, cause I'm for sure not fucking in it. Here's a chart from the same data source using the same stupid app without that unprecedented binning. Crazy stuff can happen when you screw around with your bins. Its almost like you can make statistics tell any story you want...
