Nice to see that at least one ultra-rich person recognizes that fair is fair…<\/p>\n
\nLast year my federal tax bill \u2014 the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf \u2014 was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income \u2014 and that\u2019s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent\u2026<\/p>\n
If you make money with money, as some of my super-rich friends do, your percentage may be a bit lower than mine. But if you earn money from a job, your percentage will surely exceed mine \u2014 most likely by a lot.<\/p>\n
