No, Rongie, it is YOU who has misrepresented what Jorgenson shows with the study and you also seem hooked on the number "$1 Trillion" or even "$2 Trillion" as though it were some meaningful real number instead of just popping up out of your fevered brow..

You are correct, I was mistaken. I looked at the IRS Statistics here, quoted in millions:

Individual income tax $987,209
Corporation income tax $194,146
Employment taxes $695,976
Gift tax [1] $1,939
Excise taxes $52,771
Estate tax $20,888

The $1 Trillion I accused you of lying about is actually $987 Billion + 1/2 of $696 Billion, or $1.335 Trillion. I will use the more accurate $1.335 Trillion number when I talk about your lie instead of the $1 Trillion. Sorry again.
