Many of the U.S. uber-rich pay next to no income tax, ProPublica reports
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos paid no income tax in 2007 and 2011. Tesla co-founder Elon Musk's income tax bill was zero in 2018. And financier George Soros went three straight years without paying federal income tax, according to a report Tuesday from the nonprofit investigative journalism organization ProPublica.
Overall, the richest 25 Americans pay less in tax — an average of 15.8 per cent of adjusted gross income — than many ordinary workers do, once you include taxes for Social Security and Medicare, ProPublica found.
