¿ES CIERTO que los estadounidenses ricos pagan menos impuestos que los pobres? Puede ser cierto en el caso de Warren Buffett (y ni así; aunque si fuese cierto lo tendría muy fácil para arreglar tamaña injusticia), pero en general no: los ricos pagan más que los que no lo son, como desvela la AP:

This year, households making more than $1 million will pay an average of 29.1 percent of their income in federal taxes, including income taxes and payroll taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.

Households making between $50,000 and $75,000 will pay 15 percent of their income in federal taxes.

Lower-income households will pay less. For example, households making between $40,000 and $50,000 will pay an average of 12.5 percent of their income in federal taxes. Households making between $20,000 and $30,000 will pay 5.7 percent.
