The numbers.

It's noteworthy that the amount of the total tax brought in by the ultra rich is still increasing (their total wealth is increasing as well).

The top 5% of taxpayers pay about 60% of the bill, likely a bit more now.

It states that it is the super-rich that seem to be evading their taxes or using their money wisely (where it is taxed only 15%), something we now seem to be labeling as a crime. Tax evasion = illegal, but wise placement of it...where do you draw the line?
