Correction -- it was the 25 people that saw their worth rise the most from the 5 year period 2014 to 2018 as quoted below.

https://www.propublica.org/article/the-s...income-tax

"The results are stark. According to Forbes, those 25 people saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion from 2014 to 2018. They paid a total of $13.6 billion in federal income taxes in those five years, the IRS data shows. That’s a staggering sum, but it amounts to a true tax rate of only 3.4%."

"True tax rate" is a made up thing.   There's no such thing, because we don't tax wealth.   We tax income.  Wealth taxes are unworkable.  Several countries have tried them and abandoned them.  Wealth taxes are also unconstitutional.  

So, when you say, "the top 5 wealthiest Americans only paid ~ 3.4% income tax last year..." that is incorrect.  Absolutely false.  

Do you know that when it comes to income tax, the top 1% of all earners pay 40% of all US income tax?  That is a fact.  Do you also know that the bottom 50% of all earners pay 3% of all US income tax?  The top 1% pay more income tax than the bottom 90% pays.
