Every Democrat running for President wants to raise taxes on "the rich," but they will have to do something miraculous to outtax President Bush.

Oy vey. I guess the Wall Street Journal doesn't realize that, prior to the Bush tax cuts, the top 1% were paying more than 39% of the taxes.

Seems like the WSJ is trying to keep up with the rest of the MSM.

Correct. These statistics are meaningless without knowing what percent of income is being earned by the top 1% who pay 39% of the taxes. And, yes, all taxes should be included if we are making a meaningful comparison.
