Your argument however is blown out of the water by the one thing you don't care about, if their effective tax rates are falling then they aren't paying their share even if you are trying to argue that their percentage of total taxes collected is rising, see total taxes aren't adjusted for inflation and growth rates in income, this indicates an increasing income gap in the US, and the rich getting richer not that they are paying a fair share, the reason they are paying so much of the amount collected is because wealth is so concentrated in the US, but that doesn;t mean that they are paying a fair share as their effective rates are falling.
