False, the bottom 90% paid about 25% of income taxes (in the US at least). https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income-tax-data/
it's about the percentage of income paid, not the net sum
Ok, so what percentage of income do the various income brackets pay?
Why don't you look it up?
But I think what they mean is that the 90% are more affected by it, because proportional it's a bigger chunk of their income missing.
But I could be wrong
