convenient that you left out the one chart that could discredit what I was saying.

in 1980, the top 1% paid 19% of all taxes collected.
in 1990, the top 1% paid 25% of all taxes collected.
in 2005, the top 1% pain 40% of all taxes collected. (the 2% to 5% paid 20%).

So with the top 5% paying 60% of our taxes, how are they not paying there share?

You know your numbers mean nothing unless you attach a source to them right?

 

 

No, it just means you don't believe them.
