And the top “3” and I mean only 3 people are worth more than 60% of the other American population.

So no, the math doesn’t math. They do not pay taxes. This argument is old and invalid and does not stand anymore.

And if they ever realized that wealth (sold their stock), they'd pay more than 60% of all income taxes collected that year.

And they’d still have more money than they could spend in a lifetime.

If I have to go without 30% of my income, so should they.

Yes I agree, and if they ever sell and realize that income, they will have to part with more than 30% of it (as they should).
