    that’s billions of tax payers money with the tax burden being disproportionately heavy for the 90% while the 10% pay less and less taxes the richer they are

      I like how on lemmy you see both how much upvotes and downvotes you have, on reddit you could have a score of 1 and don’t know much has happened, but with lemmy you could have 50 upvotes and 49 downvotes, making you really think about it…

        Not only that, but admins and kbinners can actually view which accounts upvoted and which downvoted each comment.

          I thought everyone can see it? Not just admin

            Everybody can see the number of upvotes and downvotes. But on kbin you can literally see which accounts upvoted and which accounts downvoted.

      False, the bottom 90% paid about 25% of income taxes (in the US at least). https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income-tax-data/

        it’s about the percentage of income paid, not the net sum

          Ok, so what percentage of income do the various income brackets pay?

        But I think what they mean is that the 90% are more affected by it, because proportional it’s a bigger chunk of their income missing.

        But I could be wrong
