Tax crusader Gabriel Zucman

🧵In 2019, California billionaire tax crusader Gabriel Zucman made an astonishing claim to the NY Times: billionaires pay a lower avg tax rate than poor people in the US. I noticed something fishy though: Zucman's NYT chart did not match his own published data from a 2018 paper https://t.co/qDiNkqvP0l
