And if you are in the TOP 10% you should pay more.

funny, i say the same thing about taxes but those idiots don't seem to think so either.

Funny - those in the top 10% DO pay more (much more) taxes by virtue of having a high level of taxable income. Duh.

But, that's off topic...

It is, but you have to factor in purchasing power and cost of living. 20% of $1,000,000 isn't as big a deal as 20% of $30,000.

said by MyDogHsFleas Here's some facts: 10% of taxpayers make more than $92400/year and they pay 72.4% of all income taxes. 60% make less than $44,300 and they pay 3.3% of all income taxes. 40% make less than $30,500 and pay ZERO income tax.[/bquote :

Considering you are plagiarizing from Fleischer and his talking points, I thought you would at least admit that those figures including payroll figures for the bottom 60% but not the top 10%.

Let's re-write what Ari said in REALITY terms - "A very small number of taxpayers -- the 10% of the country that makes more than $92,400 a year -- earned 40.9% of the nation's pre-tax income in 2005, and paid 54.8% of its federal taxes."

While the share of income taxes paid by the top 10 percent did in fact go up from 2001 to 2005 -- by 7.5 percent, to be precise -- and their portion of the nation's total tax liability rose 9.6 percent over the same time period, their share of the country's pre-tax income went up by 9.1 percent.

the flip answer is: are you math challenged? 20% of 1M is 200K. 20% of 30K is 6K. Last I checked 200K > 6K.
