They pay at a 20 % rate for the top 10% of earners in the US. That is the PROBLEM. The rate was higher in the 1950s when the US was considered the best overall country in the world. There was a REAL and strong middle class then. Those in the middle class had the income to go out to restaurants and support those establishments
