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. |
uh, again. you seem to misunderstand the term "all" as it relates to taxes. and "effective tax rate" as it relates to what is actually paid.
now because you want to imagine you're rantings are right, you want to just take the small sample of tax that proves your point. however, in the real world, each of us is responsible to pay ALL the tax we owe. not just the part that makes you look right.
