45% of Americans pay no federal income tax

A few interesting points:
+ Roughly half pay no federal income tax because they have no taxable income, and the other roughly half get enough tax breaks to erase their tax liability
+ The top 1% of taxpayers pay a higher effective income-tax rate than any other group â?? nearly seven times higher than those in the bottom 50%.
+ Meanwhile, the richest 20% of Americans, by far, pay the most in income taxes, forking over nearly 87% of all the income tax collected by Uncle Sam.
