Better get your facts straight before spewing leftist garbage around these parts, amigo. Try on these facts for size (and I do mean facts): The top 1% of wage earners pay one-third of total income taxes; The top 5% pay 55%, the top 10% pay over two-thirds, and the top 50% of wage earners paid 92.98% of the total income tax!

And incidentally, the least wealthy 50% pay only 4%! We live in a socialist nation ......You should like it.

I would like say thank you for your well reasoned reply.

Since you appear to know so much about me, mind telling me what I would like to eat for lunch?

This quote was not about what percentage anyone pays. The quote was

"By 2010 the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers will receive 52 percent of the administration tax cuts, according to Citizens for Tax Justice, a watchdog group based in Washington, D.C."

Looks to me like it says that 1% of taxpayers get 52% of the tax cut.

I passed no judgement on if this was a good/bad/fair/unfair thing.
