Yes, at the same rates and under the same rules as non-Jews.
You can hear people say a lot of things. People saying that Jews don't pay taxes are either stupid, bigoted or both.

If you are inquiring about an Israeli income tax, yes, Israel has a progressive tax starting at 10% and increasing to a maximum of 49% of income.
If you are asking if United States citizens of the Jewish faith have a religious exemption from US taxes, the answer is that there is not such an exemption, and therefore, they must pay income taxes like everyone else.

All people pay taxes. Remember the only two certain things in life - Death and Taxes.

Because some of them are wealthy and hire expensive lawyers and accountants to legally avoid taxes like investing in tax shelters. It costs money to save on taxes. They got it. You don't.

Poor people don't pay taxes. Have you ever met a poor Jewish person? No, so... yes, Jewish people do pay taxes.
The tax man doesn't miss any ethnic or religious group unless they are poor.
