This is bound to cause AOC and Bernie Sanders’ heads to spin around.

Here’s some of the earth-shattering editorial:

Despite whining from politicians and activists that the rich don’t pay their “fair share,” the United States federal income tax is extremely progressive…

Income is unevenly spread across the population, and the income tax burden is even more skewed — toward the top.

Zoom out from the extremely rich to just the well-off, and it becomes more apparent how much higher earners are shielding lower earners from a greater income tax burden.

Just 25.6 percent of tax filers had incomes of $100,000 or more. They paid almost $9 out of every $10 (87.4 percent) that the federal government collected from income tax.

More amazing: those who make more than $500,000, earn 25% of the income but pay 50% of the income tax. That’s awfully progressive.

We’ve been saying this for years, but it’s nice and appropriate that SOME in the media are admitting it.
