Federal Government is a form of insurance. When you have more to insure, you pay a premium to the insurer.

The top 50% of the wage earners pay 96.78% of the taxes collected.
The top 5% pays 53.25% of ALL taxes. Yes 5% of America pays for over 1/2 the tax.
This is why whines about 'fair share' are really assinine.
