Sure, replace "the most tax" with "the highest tax rate", as that was your sentence.

> And GGP talked about how "a minority of taxpayers finance the government".

Your reply was to GP, and it wasn't one pointing that out.



GP says that the (uber)rich pay a lower tax rate than the middle class so he wouldn't necessarily agree that the top earners pay the highest tax rate.

(And actually GP would only make sense at all as a reply to GGP if he meant lower tax amount in dollars - not just a lower tax rate.)

The uber-rich aren't the top earners.

Capital holdings and labor income aren't the same thing.
