Economist Gabriel Zucman writes a guest opinion piece for the New York Times about billionaires' shrinking tax bill. "In the 1960s, the 400 richest Americans paid more than half of their income in taxes ... Today, the superrich control a greater share of America's wealth than during the Gilded Age of Carnegies and Rockefellers."
"The top 1% earned 14.6% of all wages in 2021 -- twice as high as their 7.3% share in 1979. The bottom 90% received just 58.6% of all wages in 2021, the lowest share on record, and far lower than their 69.8% share in 1979."
