Of course, God forbid they show anything to be balanced. They pick and chose what charts to show so they could argue that we need to soak the rich more, rather than provide a balanced analysis about both incomes and taxes. Where's the chart that shows the top 1% paying a majority of income taxes? Where's the chart that shows that the Regan and Bush tax cuts forced the rich to pay a higher percentage taxes to the government that before the cuts? The only thing that chart told me was that payroll taxes are crazy in America, and need destroyed. They are why your average family is getting killed. Funny, they don't mention anything about payroll taxes, despite they have increased 4-fold since the 50s.
