The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

There were a fair number of white digital journ execs who benefitted from hiring diverse voices in the 2010s. And when the market demanded resegregated white newsrooms, those same execs delivered.
