I dunno, but according to Rush Limbaugh's site, 96.03 of taxes are paid by the top 50% of wage earners.

Mind blower! It's on his home page, complete with links and pie chart if anyone's interested.

Welcome to the world of sad truths. The lower half of income earners in the US make up about 4% of all the taxes paid. Plus, if you earn little enough and have kids, the taxpayers pay you through a welfare system called the Earned Income Tax Credit. America is good to the poor. In an earlier day all Americans were obliged to pay some tax. Not anymore!

Accepting anything stated by that demagogic idiot as fact is more folly.

The thing to keep in mind with this is since the top 50% pay 96% of the taxes think how much the illegal aliens are contributing to our treasury.

1or 2% if we are lucky!
