Link works, but link in article is dead
Footnote 1 refers to a NYT article, which in turn has a dead link to OECD data. Most likely the current item on the OECD website is this one: https://www.oecd.org/tax/tax-policy/global-revenue-statistics-database.htm and a direct link may be preferable, or just use both.
Graph
editI added graph here:
Making History: U.S. Billionaires Paid Lower Tax Rate Than Working Class. October 10, 2019. On FAIR360.com. Sources listed on graph: Emmanual Saez and Gabriel Zucman. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Income tax vs. payroll tax
editI'm a bit uncomfortable with this line in the header: "As a group, the lowest earning workers, especially those with dependents, pay no income taxes." This is true only if one excludes payroll taxes (which are taxes on income). It's sort of technically correct if one uses the commonly accepted terms of art, but completely incorrect in logical terms (in that payroll taxes are taxes on income). Separating out payroll taxes from other income taxes has become so entrenched in the tax discussion, that this may be unavoidable, but your average lay person could easily come away from the lead section with a completely incorrect conclusion. 98.114.130.94 (talk) 14:58, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
