Thse charts can only be near to accurate when one TOTALLY IGNORES SOCIAL SECURITY taxes.

I hope i have made myself clear.

The article from Rush’s site was titled:

“Only The Rich Pay Taxes — Top 50% of Wage Earners Pay 96.03% of Income Taxes”

So, it’s income taxes only.

Here’s the footnote that I should have put underneath the chart:

“*Data covers calendar year 2001, not fiscal year 2001 - and includes all income, not just wages, excluding Social Security”

If Obama gets his way and removes the earnings cap on Soshsecurity contributions, the charts will be accurate.
