Is that just federal income tax, or does it include the regressive Social Security and sales taxes?
GA41
I assume these are good statistics; I believe they are. The propaganda the left is spewing about the rich paying their "fair share" of taxes, is just that - propaganda. The left buys votes with their "give away programs" from the bottom 50% with our tax dollars. The funny thing is, these power brokers are mostly in the top 3%, but present themselves as advocates for the poor man. It is all a power grab.

Now do the other part.
How much of the total wealth do each of those groups hold?
Hint: the top 1% owns closer to 40% than 1% of it.
?
I agree that the rich need to pay their fare share.
It is not fair that they (1%) only pay 40% of all taxes and the bottom 50% only pay 3%.
Why are we making them pay 3% of the cost to run this country.
We need more Free stuff Woohoo!!!!
