I'm not the one who brought Limbaugh up.
Did your data tell the whole story? Did you want it to tell the whole story? No and No.
You said the "rest of us" are paying a larger percentage of our incomes, and provided a graph which i imagine was trying to support that. I don't see how anything here supports that claim.
Besides, the basis for this argument stems not from republicans screaming that the poor should be shelling out more, it comes from the democrats crying the wealthy aren't shelling out enough. I won't refer you to a library but i will refer you to arts post where he says " the benefits relatively wealthy individuals create for our society is long and vastly overwhelms the contributions of the relatively poorer individuals"
