There's a common myth about who pays their fair share, and who doesn't.

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?
This new analysis by the economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman did exactly that.
Viewer comment: "It would be nice if this presentation had just 1 graph that was absolute dollars paid in taxes,
not always having the Y-axis a "% of total income" ...
then we'd see that those rich people are paying hundreds to thousands of times more than the poor folks."
