You might have heard that the poor in America barely pay any taxes. And if you look at a chart of how much every American pays in income taxes, that seems basically true. But income taxes are just one type of the many taxes we pay. So what happens if we add them all up? A new analysis by the economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman did exactly that. And it shows that the American tax system might not be as «progressive» as many people believe.
Read more about that analysis in an op-ed Saez and Zucman wrote for the New York Times: https://nyti.ms/310A6mB
