The 1% hold more than 40% of the wealth, and therefore should be paying much more than 40% of income taxes, based on proportion alone - nevermind historic precedence before trickle-down Reaganomics.

When the top 1% are not in the top tax bracket, something is horribly wrong.

They are in the top tax bracket.

The federal income tax is based on income, not wealth.
