They still do, but there are ways to either distribute the funds or set up grantor trusts that bring the rates back down to an acceptable billionaire rate. You know, next to nothing.
We’re having the same conversation but about two different things. I thought we were discussing tax rates that trusts themselves pay. Not individual tax rates.
One thing I’ll correct myself on is that I just looked up trust tax rates and they’re paying only 20% on capital gains now. Pretty sure that was higher before the Cheeto took over.
I used to do a whole lot of trust returns, but I’m admittedly rusty on them today.
They used to have a high income tax rate. Used to.

Actually, they don’t. (Thats a really interesting and informative link to look at.)
They used to deal with ~70%+ tax rates. Now its at ~10%, and that’s before the shenanigans that you mentioned …
