Can you share a source? Of course the top 5% of _earners_ would pay more, but that's not necessarily the same crew as the top 5% in net worth. And 5% is a large share of the population. I'd be more interested in the top 1% of 1% in terms of wealth.

I see this repeated all the time and it's worthless without context. What percent of all income do the top 5% earn? What's their share of national wealth?

5% richest includes hand to mouth workers earning $100k.
