#notmeanttobeafactualstatement

Tax receipts for 2010 were $2.162 Trillion

Logic should dictate that if we were taxing people at 100% that number would be more like $8-10 Trillion

According to REPUBLICANS, people earning $100K+ pay around 70% of federal income tax revenues (the top 20% of earners). Considering that 70% of $2.162 Trillion is about $1.5 Trillion you can see how the statement you made was false.
