So these graphs show how much the government steals from you it’s slaves.

Understand that there isn’t a chart for after Obama was elected but why does it take the government so long to update.
Oh I Know why.....

Grrrr. I thought I checked and double-checked the table that I used for the 2009 AGI thresholds, but still selected the wrong one.

This is the table that you should use to figure out where you are in the income categories, using your 2009 AGI:

threshold	minimum AGI
top 0.1%	1,432,890
top 1%	343,927
top 5%	154,643
top 10%	112,124
top 25%	66,193
top 50%	32,396

As a result of this change, a family with $250,000 AGI in 2009 would be in the top 2%.

Since the "soak the rich" rhetoric has begun again, I though it was a good time to make sure that everyone knows exactly how adjusted gross income and federal individual income taxes are distributed among the various income brackets.

Well then I'm sure you considered "income" sheltered in tax-exempt "charitable" foundations that the extreme rich use to game regulations? You know, like the donations they make to green groups to put their competition out of business. Oh and while you're at it, please add in the hidden income reported as deductions in corporate expenses.

You didn't? Well wake me when you get it done and I'll consider your sob story. Until then I'll stick with the observation that it isn't the rich being soaked for taxes by total percentage of cash flow they enjoy nearly as much as their upper middle class competition.

Can I get that and your cites as a PDF? I need to hammer that one home with some idiots.
