Federal Income Taxes Too High?
The U.S. Federal Progressive Tax Structure

If you are having a problem paying your federal and state income taxes, consider these frightening statistics for the years 2020 through 2024.

• The top 1 % of earners paid 40% of all federal income taxes.
• The top 10% of earners paid 73% of all federal income taxes.
• The top 53% of earners paid 100% of all federal income taxes.
• The bottom 47% of earners paid no federal income taxes.

If Congress raises taxes to the point that the bottom 51 % of earners pay no federal income taxes, the no taxpayer voting block will have the power to increase taxes without limit on the 49% who do pay taxes The result will mean disaster for the country. While the numbers differ from state to state, the same risk exists in those states that have a heavy progressive income tax such as California.
