Snapshot · The Dan Bongino Show
In a classic clip replayed on the show, Al Sharpton claimed the top 1% pay 'very much less than 5%' of income taxes; the actual IRS figure at the time was 34%.
Where this was said
At 39:30 · chapter starts 38:40
Bongino escalates with a 'classic' clip: John Stossel interviewing Al Sharpton and asking how much the top 1% should pay in income taxes. Sharpton says 15% would be fair — then claims they currently pay 'very much less than 5%.' Stossel informs him the IRS figure is 34%, nearly double what Sharpton said would be fair. Sharpton's response is immediate topic change: 'well, if you deal with the quality of their lives...' He never acknowledges how far off he was. [1] — Dan Bongino "Al Sharpton claimed the top 1% pay less than 5% of income taxes. When Stossel told him the IRS figure was 34%, Sharpton immediately changed…" 39:20 Bongino then asks the audience directly: what is the difference between this behavior and what the doomer grifters do? When you give them evidence — Bolton pled guilty, the top 1% pays 40% — they just pivot to the next conspiracy. He calls the audience 'marks,' comparing them to tourists in '80s Times Square buying fake Rolexes out of a jacket.
Al Sharpton claimed the top 1% pay less than 5% of income taxes. When Stossel told him the IRS figure was 34%, Sharpton immediately changed the subject and never admitted being wrong. Every liberal who does this on taxes is reading from the same script.
