I'm sure there are percentages given for like $10,000-$15,000 per year income, or $45,000-$50,000 per year income out there. I'd ask my acocunting department, but they are at work on other stuff right now.
So what? and this proves what? all it says is that the rich were over-taxed prior to the bush tax cuts moreso than the rest of the country.

The top 1% still pay 34% of all income taxes
The top half pay 96.5% of all income taxes.

If you are so bent on income equality I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is and send me a check for $33,500, then we'd be equal.
