In 2013, the IRS published a famous study that showed that the top 10 percent of households that earned the most money paid 70 percent of all federal taxes. The top 25 percent of households paid 87 percent of all federal taxes. Meanwhile, the entire bottom 50 percent of households only paid 3 percent of all federal taxes.
