<human>:  Why don't rich people pay their fair share f taxes?
<bot>: Rich individuals pay a significant amount of taxes, primarily as payroll and income taxes. It is true that some wealthy individuals pay much less in tax than others, and the US has some of the biggest income and wealth disparities in the developed world. The US government does collect around 50% of GDP in taxes, which is one of the highest rates around the world. There is significant debate and discussion around equitable tax policy, but there are many factors that influence tax levels including social and economic factors, historical precedent and policy priorities. If you have specific concerns around current tax policy, you can consult with an expert or your local government at https://www.irs.gov/.
