How convenient, you said absolutely nothing about this:
Code:
PERCENT OF INCOME EARNED AND TAXES PAID OF SELECTED DISTINCT PERCENTILES
0-50 50-75 75-90 90-95 95-99 Top 1
Percent share of... Percent Percent Percent Percent Percent Percent
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted gross income 13.81 20.96 22.12 11.12 14.46 17.53
Total income tax..... 3.97 13.13 18.01 11.64 19.36 33.89
Population........... 50.00 25.00 15.00 5.00 4.00 1.00
AGI floor ($thousand) N/A 28.53 56.09 92.75 127.90 292.91
YOU brough in the whole 50% pay 95% crap. I posted that it's a half truth, you have no response yet. Your response was the equivalent to holding your hands to your ears and saying "la la la la la"

Putting that aside for the moment, how muh more of my tax dollars do you want to confiscate for the govt? I'm in 94-99% bracket for reference

Whatever is necessary to ensure that the people making less than 29k/year don't have to pay more taxes that they can't afford and can have reasonable health care. The selfish upper class has decided to chose to give themselves more money at the expense of the workers that keep their system running. If they aren't going to willingly give their workers the means to take care of themselves, we'll take it from them.
Since you brought up the disparity in taxes paid by the bottom 50%, how much more do you want to take from a family of 4 that nets less than 29k/year?
Err on the side of life, as long as they aren't capable of living. Screw the people that actually need help.
