The top 0.1 percent earns half of American capital gains
Maybe “one-tenth of a percent” doesn’t have the same ring to it or

What they do have to claim is often only a fraction of what they should, as a report today in Bloomberg adds to the analysis by revealing that stock transactions that aren’t actually classified as “sells” keep billionaires from keeping otherwise-taxable income away from the IRS."
