That 10% of the taxpayers pay 90% of the taxes and half the population pays no taxes at all distorts the favoritism implied by such statements.

That 'half the population pays no taxes at all distorts the reality that they pay a buttload of taxes that amount to a major percentage of their income.

Conversely, the income and cap gains taxes paid by the wealthiest % are not so impactful.
