Those are facts. Give a source that says they are wrong.

I wrote "Wrong again. The total the rich pay is more than just the income tax they pay."

That doesn't make this statement wrong:

The top 1% pay income tax that covers only 13% of
federal spending and yet they are given 25% of the income.

How come you snip off most of what I wrote and then claim to
be using facts.

Your statement "wrong again" was not correct.
You started with a false claim and
The rest was not relevant to that false claim.

Do you not agree that the rich pay more than just income
tax to the federal government?

Almost everyone pays a lot more than just income tax.
Taxes have a much greater impact on the poor than the rich.

Every wage earners income is taxed at 15% federal flat
payroll tax. If they make enough income then income tax
is added on top of that.

The average person with income in the top 1% are paying
around 15% in tax on their taxable income.
The top 1% are not paying anymore in taxes than the lowest
wage earners and they pay less than the middle income wage
earners.
