You also need to include the taxes of all the people they employ and the many services they never use.

Still lower?

Absolutely. In 2021 an IRS contractor, Charles Littlejohn, leaked the tax documents of the richest people to ProPublica, so we all know that Warren Buffet paid a stunning 0.10% tax:

If you want to know how the richest people also avoid all other taxes, like e. g. inheritance, watch NYT interview with a tax lawyer 'Salaries are for suckers' https://youtu.be/mX5U5DNUfBc?si=5vmLHY0GjGAC3X4o. It goes into the details of the tax system.
