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. |
lets play even further.
from the chart, your bracket pays 3% (giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're in the 3rd quintile.
so how ever you want to cut it, your betters are paying percentage wise, about 6x more than you. any way you slice it, you don't pay nearly as much percentage wise or actual dollars than the top 1%, 5% or 10%
