oh, but you don't want to include excise tax because it works against your lie.
typical liberal nonsense.
"we need to count gas and sales tax because it helps my argument but no way to we count a tax that works against my argument"
intelligent people understand the meaning of "all" and "effective"
liberals seem to have trouble with those words.

Look... I have no idea why you can't understand something as simple as this. You provided a link to an opinion piece that quoted that CBO report... it is linked from the article.
You posted that article in response to me saying that people making above $250k/year pay an average of 17% in income taxes... go back and look. I showed you from your own article and the report it quoted that I was correct... the top 10% pay an average of 17.5% in individual income tax.... end if story.
You want to include Corporate Tax and Excise Tax... which has nothing to do with individual income taxes and the rate that will increase when the Bush Tax cuts expire.
